Breast cancer is the most common cancer among
women and the second leading cause of cancer deaths
in women today. While early detection is key to
increasing survival rates, new treatment regimens
for advanced cancer, utilizing various combinations
of surgery, chemotherapy, hormone therapy and
radiation therapy, are being investigated and
brought into clinical practice every day.
The Breast Cancer Program at University Hospital
encourages patients to become informed advocates
for their own breast health and treatment. Bringing
university-level treatment and research to the
community, our physicians, nurses, and therapists
work with patients and their families to develop
treatment plans that respect personal beliefs
and values while maximizing positive clinical
outcomes. |
