Breast Surgery Expertise
One out of eight women will face breast cancer in her lifetime, which means one out of eight wives, sisters, aunts, daughters and mothers will be stricken. When breast cancer strikes one of us, whole families suffer. This is why Comprehensive Cancer Centers added the field’s leading surgeons to its continuum of care. Our highly skilled team conducts both non-cancer and cancer-related surgeries as part of their mission to provide the most current and effective treatment options to our breast care and breast cancer patients.
While our patient philosophy is to provide excellence in breast surgical care using the highest standards, newest technologies available and access to the latest clinical research, we believe that some of the most important treatments are preventative. Through breast health advocacy, early detection and regular prevention screenings, our goal is to stop cancer before it strikes. But in cases where cancer treatment is necessary, the breast surgery division pursues a multidisciplinary approach, creating individualized treatment plans where the patient’s personal needs come first.
To stay at the forefront of treatment, the breast surgery division also participates in monthly tumor board meetings where surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, radiologists and other health care professionals come together in a collaborative environment to discuss some of the more challenging breast tumor cases and the best possible treatment options.
