Breast Cancer
From diagnosis to treatment and beyond, we provide the full range of state-of-the-art services along with personalized, compassionate care.
Treating Breast Cancer
Our team of cancer experts uses the latest treatments and the most compassionate care for each patient.
Surgery
Our expert surgeons collaborate with cancer specialists to determine the best treatment strategy for each patient. That includes determining the stage of the cancer, whether surgery is the best treatment option, and what surgical technique will be most effective. One option is hidden scar surgery. Our surgeons also work with your cancer care team to relieve or minimize pain.
Radiation Therapy
This therapy destroys cancer cells. It can be delivered in a beam from outside the body or through pellets or seeds that give off radiation from inside the body. Radiation therapy is highly focused on the target area, which can be in the breast or nearby lymph nodes. It’s often used after surgery to reduce the risk for recurrence.
Medical Oncology
Our medical oncologists individualize therapy for each patient to provide the best treatment outcomes. Your breast cancer specialist may recommend one or more medical oncology treatments such as:
- Chemotherapy, which can destroy breast cancer cells and shrink tumors.
- Hormone therapy, which can slow or stop the growth of breast cancers that are hormone sensitive. It can also help keep cancer from recurring or developing in the other breast.
- Immunotherapy, which can help your own immune system find and destroy breast cancer cells.
Our patients appreciate the convenience and comfort of getting their medical oncology treatments in an outpatient setting.
