Breast Cancer Treatment Options

Share this

The following are the typical treatment options, with some general information about each one. Please note that your surgeon, radiation oncologist or medical oncologist will explain the details of your individual treatment plan, and offer you the opportunity to ask them any questions before you get started.

You will also want to discuss the goals and possible side effects, and its potential effects on your quality of treatment with your team. You should have a clear understanding about the likelihood that a treatment will be successful life.  The American Cancer Society is also an excellent resource for additional information.
