Breast Cancer
Treatments & Diagnosis
Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer amongst women in the United States, second only to skin cancer. It originates in the milk ducts or the lobules of the breasts, and then it may spread to other parts of the breast or even other organs outside the breasts. Because of the commonality of breast cancer, all women should perform regular breast self-exams and seek regular breast cancer screenings.
Thanks to advanced research and increasing awareness, breast cancer survival rates have increased considerably in recent years. Early detection significantly improves your prognosis, so you must educate yourself on the early signs and symptoms of breast cancer. Please contact a Boston breast cancer specialist for breast cancer screening if you have a lump on the breast tissues and other unexplained changes on your skin and breast.
Same-Day Genetic Testing
Getting to The Cause
Breast cancer screening and testing are essential components of risk mitigation. Everyone should go for regular screening, but those with a high risk of breast cancer should undergo a mammogram once every six to twelve months. We use the most advanced technologies to diagnose breast cancer, such as traditional mammograms, digital breast tomosynthesis, breast ultrasound, and breast MRI. After breast cancer screening, we may perform a biopsy to investigate the suspicious breast cancer tissues under a microscope.
Surgical Procedures
Effective & Life-changing
Breast cancer surgery is the most common treatment option for patients with breast cancer, usually accompanied by chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or hormone therapy. Breast cancer surgery involves using numerous techniques to remove malignant tumors and cancer cells. If you’re at the early stages of breast cancer, the surgeon may perform a lumpectomy to remove the cancer cells while preserving most of your breast. However, if cancer progresses significantly, you may need a mastectomy or double mastectomy.
