Finding the Best Breast Cancer Treatment for You
Breast cancer stages and types help us determine the most effective course of action. From traditional treatments like surgery, chemotherapy and radiation to alternative therapies and clinical trials, your supportive team will build a plan that puts some of the most advanced medical research and procedures to work for you.
-
Surgical Expertise
Our fellowship-trained surgeons place a strong emphasis on treating tumors with techniques that optimize each patient’s recovery. The type of breast cancer surgery, including a lumpectomy, mastectomy or post-treatment resection, is determined after a thorough review of patients' medical history and test results.
-
Radiation Therapy
Using sophisticated radiation technology, we can target tumors with amazing precision, reducing pain and leaving healthy tissue untouched. Radiation therapy targets specific areas of the body, shrinking tumors and killing cancer cells by damaging their DNA. For eligible patients, advanced radiation therapy options like intra-operative radiation therapy (IORT) may be an expedited treatment option.
-
Targeted Therapy
Our physicians are working closely with the world's leading researchers to develop new therapies and more personalized treatment planning for patients. As a result, we provide several types of targeted therapies, including hormone therapy and immunotherapy, that more precisely identify and attack cancer cells.
