Method of Treatment
Surgery
An “open” surgery means the cutting of skin and tissues so that the surgeon has a full view of the structures or organs involved.
Laparoscopy can be used to help diagnose a wide range of conditions that develop inside the abdomen or pelvis.
Robotic surgery can be used to treat conditions affecting your heart, digestive system, bladder, prostate and more.
Chemotherapy
Targeted therapy focuses on specific molecules involved in cancer growth. HER2-positive breast cancers, which have an overexpression of the HER2 protein, can be treated with targeted therapies like trastuzumab (Herceptin) to inhibit the protein’s action.
Immunotherapy, although not as commonly used in breast cancer as in some other cancers, is being explored as a treatment option. It aims to boost the body’s immune response against cancer cells.
Hormone therapy is used for hormone receptor-positive breast cancers, where hormones like estrogen or progesterone contribute to cancer growth. Medications such as tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitors are used to block hormone receptors and prevent cancer cells from growing.
Radiation Therapy
High-energy rays are directed at the affected area to destroy cancer cells or prevent their growth. This is often used after lumpectomy to reduce the risk of recurrence.
Radioactive seeds or pellets are placed near the tumor site temporarily to deliver radiation directly to the affected area.
