Diagnosing breast cancer
Your breast cancer care starts by having an accurate diagnosis. Regular screenings give us the best chance of detecting breast cancer early in the process — which often results in better outcomes. If your tests show that you have breast cancer, our advanced diagnostic technology and techniques give your breast cancer care team the information they need to effectively treat your disease.
Your breast cancer treatment plan
Every patient’s breast cancer is unique. That means your treatment must be unique to you as well. Your breast cancer care team will create your personalized treatment plan based on your:
- Type of cancer
- Health needs
- Concerns, preferences, etc.
We use the most advanced treatments whenever possible, including options to help you preserve your breasts. Our treatments include:
You may also be able to participate in clinical trials as part of your treatment plan. Clinical trials provide you access to advanced treatments and techniques that are not widely available elsewhere. We are constantly involved in the latest research on breast cancer, including our work in Ghana in Africa. There, we research the genetic origins of triple-negative breast cancer, an aggressive and difficult-to-treat type of breast cancer that often affects African American women.
