Get to know Surgeon Dr. Jason E. Copeland, who serves the population of Buffalo, New York.

Dr. Copeland is a surgeon currently practicing with Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, where he holds an expertise in breast surgery. Founded in 1898 as the nation’s first cancer center, Roswell Park set the standard for today’s multidisciplinary approach to the highest quality cancer care. Their patient-centric, multidisciplinary teams include an array of clinical and supportive care experts who work together on your personalized care plan. Having all of these experts under one roof helps to ensure an accurate diagnosis, an individualized treatment plan tailored to your cancer, supportive care throughout your treatment that heals more than just your body and a long-term survivorship plan to help you live your best life after treatment ends.

In regards to his education, Dr. Copeland holds a Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS). MBBS are the two first professional degrees in medicine and surgery awarded upon graduation from medical school by universities in countries that follow the tradition of the United Kingdom. The historical degree nomenclature states that they are two separate undergraduate degrees; however, in practice, they are usually combined as one and conferred together, and may also be awarded at graduate-level medical schools. In countries that follow the system in the United States, the equivalent medical degree is awarded as Doctor of Medicine or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine.

To stay up to date in his field, he remains a professional member of the American Society of Breast Surgeons. The American Society of Breast Surgeons, the primary leadership organization for general surgeons who treat patients with breast disease, is committed to continually improving the practice of breast surgery by serving as an advocate for surgeons who seek excellence in the care of breast patients. This mission is accomplished by providing a forum for the exchange of ideas and by promoting education, research, and the development of advanced surgical techniques.

Breast surgeon is usually a general surgeon who is especially skilled in operating on the breast. A breast surgeon may biopsy a tumor in the breast and, if it is malignant, remove the tumor. A breast surgeon may also do breast reconstruction following a mastectomy for breast cancer. The surgeons who carry out this type of breast reconstruction may be breast oncology surgeons or plastic surgeons. (Surgeons trained in both these specialities are known as oncoplastic surgeons.) Some breast surgeons also do cosmetic breast surgery.
