What I Can Do For You

Step 1

Prevention

Maintaining a healthy body weight through diet and exercise can help reduce the risk of breast cancer. Obesity is linked to elevated hormone levels, which may contribute to hormonally driven breast cancers. Studies show a 33% increase in breast cancer-specific mortality in obese individuals with a BMI >30. To protect your breast health and overall well-being, prioritize a healthy lifestyle.

Step 2

Screening & Detection

Early detection is vital in breast cancer management. Standard-risk patients can benefit from regular mammograms, while those with dense breast tissue may opt for tomosynthesis or “3-D mammograms.” High-risk patients may need a combination of mammograms and MRI alternating every 6 months. Discuss the right screening option for you with your primary care physician or schedule a consult with our office.

Step 3

Diagnosis

Suspicious findings on a screening mammogram or a new lump may warrant diagnostic imaging, including targeted mammograms and ultrasounds. Biopsy, if required, helps confirm the diagnosis. Remember, additional imaging doesn’t always mean breast cancer. A pathologist examines the tissue, and if further treatment is necessary, our breast surgeon will discuss available options.

Step 4

Treatment

Treating breast cancer involves a multidisciplinary approach, with a team of physicians tailoring a personalized treatment plan. Your breast surgeon, medical oncologist, radiation oncologist, and others work together to address your unique needs. Your treatment plan will be discussed with you at each visit, ensuring the best possible care.

Step 5

Recovery & Follow Up

After breast cancer treatment, regular follow-up care is crucial. Our team will monitor your recovery and address any concerns you may have. We are here to support you every step of the way, providing the necessary care and guidance to ensure your continued well-being.
