Breast cancer types we treat
Why choose us for breast cancer care?
Highlights of our program include:
- Team approach: Your treatment reflects the expertise of multiple doctors specializing in breast cancer. Our team includes surgeons, medical oncologists, imaging specialists, pathologists and radiation oncologists. We work together to plan and deliver the treatments that are best for your needs and preferences.
- Surgical expertise: Our team includes breast surgeons with additional fellowship training in breast cancer care. If you need reconstruction, you receive services from plastic surgeons who treat a high volume of breast cancer patients. Our capabilities help you receive the high-quality care you deserve. Learn more about cancer surgery.
- Safety: We use innovative techniques such as deep inspiration breath hold to protect the heart during radiation therapy for breast cancer. You take a deep, measured breath, which moves the heart away from the breast. At the same time, we deliver treatment in short, precise bursts. Get more information about radiation oncology.
- Support: Our breast cancer navigator coordinates services to keep your care on track. Whether it’s making appointments or connecting you with resources, including transportation and financial assistance if needed.

Timely breast cancer care
We help you start healing as quickly as possible with coordinated office visits. In one appointment, your visit may include:
- Access to multiple doctors: You discuss treatment options with breast cancer experts specializing in surgery, radiation therapy and medical oncology.
- Additional testing: Many patients receive same-day procedures to take a tissue sample (biopsy), allowing us to confirm or rule out a cancer diagnosis. We also perform advanced imaging studies that may include breast MRI.
- Timely results: Breast imaging experts interpret scans as soon as they are available. They share the information with other members of your care team.
- Support: Our breast cancer navigator helps you plan the next steps of your care.
Research and clinical trials for breast cancer
In addition to proven care practices, you may be eligible to try new drugs that lower the risk of the cancer returning. We are exploring methods for using gentler treatments to achieve the same results people have come to expect of us.
