Breast Cancer Team

At the Comprehensive Breast Care Center, male and female breast cancer patients are evaluated by a team consisting of specialists from surgical oncology, medical oncology, radiation oncology, diagnostic mammography, pathology, and plastic and reconstructive surgery. Our specialists work together in a single location to provide timely and accurate health care, from evaluation and diagnosis to treatment planning.

Genetic counseling and testing services are also available. In addition to the availability of individual and family counseling, a variety of support groups meet on a regular basis, including 'I Can Cope', 'Look Good, Feel Better', and the 'Wednesday Group'.

Experts do not know the exact causes of breast cancer but research has shown certain factors increase a woman's chances of getting breast cancer. Although some women are at higher risk, the fact is all women are at risk for breast cancer. Learn more by participating in our Breast Cancer Risk Factors Multimedia Interactive Program.
