Our team will arm you with the information and resources you need to meet the challenge of a breast cancer diagnosis with confidence, dignity and hope. This free guide will help you understand some of the most common questions about breast cancer, such as:

What are the latest and most advanced breast cancer treatments available?
Our breast cancer program takes a multidisciplinary approach to treating breast cancer. To best support you, we've assembled a team of highly experienced doctors — including breast surgeons, medical oncologists and radiation oncologists — to evaluate your breast cancer and develop a treatment plan unique to you.
Creating the Right Breast CancerTreatment Plan — Just for You
Knowing breast cancer stages and types helps us determine the most effective course of action for each unique patient. 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 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.
One-on-One, Ongoing Breast CancerSupport
Your designated Breast Cancer Navigators will be by your side every step of the way, answering your questions and scheduling appointments with your doctors and specialists. They are advocates for your care, working as your points of contact for diagnosis, support, rapid scheduling, second opinions, symptom management and your ongoing education. After your treatment, our team will also provide you with the counseling, nutritional guidance, mentoring and support you’ll need to live your life to the fullest.
