Breast cancer is the third leading cause of death for women
in the U.S. The good news is that breast cancer is a disease
that can be treated and cured. Finding the cancer cells early
and doing the right treatment has lowered the death rate from
breast cancer in the last 20 years. Treatment for breast cancer
includes surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and endocrine/anti-hormone
therapy.
Most of patients with breast cancer are treated in the Breast Care Clinic.
