Breast Cancer Treatment Options
| Through continuing research into new treatment methods, women now have more treatment options and hope for survival than ever before. |
The treatment options for each woman depend on the size and location of the tumor in her breast, the results of lab tests (including hormone receptor tests), and the stage (or extent) of the disease.
Second Opinions
Before starting treatment, the patient might want a second opinion about the diagnosis and treatment plan. Some insurance companies require a second opinion; others may cover a second opinion if the patient requests it.
At Forsyth Regional Cancer Center we offer a Multidisciplinary Breast Cancer Clinic designed to give you that second opinion in the convenience of a single location in one afternoon.
