Breast Cancer Treatment Center
The Treatment Team
A patient's care is provided by a team of widely renowned, highly experienced oncologists (cancer specialists) who have dedicated their careers to providing care and conducting clinical research specifically focused on women with breast cancer.
These oncologists are part of a multidisciplinary group that includes many other physicians and health care professionals, all of whom have extensive experience in the specialized care of women with breast cancer. The members of this team work closely together and collaborate regularly to ensure that each patient's care plan will offer her the best possible outcomes, and that all of her many needs are met.
The makeup of each woman's care team differs depending on her individual circumstances and needs. Yet each and every patient who is cared for at the Breast Oncology Center has access to the following health care professionals:
- surgical oncologists specializing in breast cancer
- medical oncologists
- radiation oncologists
- radiologists
- pathologists
- reproductive (fertility) medicine specialists
- plastic surgeons
