Breast Cancer Treatment Options

Treatment options will vary depending on a number of factors including the type of breast cancer your biopsy has uncovered, the size of the tumor, where it is found in the breast, and if the cancer has been found in the lymph nodes or in other parts of the body. Depending on these indicators, your treatment may include one or more of the following: surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and/or hormone therapy.
