About me

Miss Jennifer Rusby is a Consultant Oncoplastic Breast Surgeon at the Royal Marsden Hospital Breast Unit in Sutton. She qualified at Oxford University and undertook her surgical training in Wessex, Birmingham and at The Royal Marsden.

She has spent time at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, USA, researching the anatomy and pathology of the nipple with the aim of improving surgical techniques to allow nipple-sparing mastectomy. In 2009 she was awarded a Royal College of Surgeons Arnott Lectureship for this work.

Miss Rusby’s practice covers the diagnosis and surgical treatment of symptomatic and screen-detected breast cancer including oncoplastic breast conserving techniques and mastectomy (including nipple-sparing) with immediate breast reconstruction.
