Reveal Secrets Behind What Is Breast Cancer Now

Treatment Options

Treatment for breast cancer varies depending on the type, stage, and individual patient factors. Common treatments include:

  • Surgery: Options range from lumpectomy, which removes the tumor and a small margin of surrounding tissue, to mastectomy, which involves the removal of one or both breasts.
  • Chemotherapy: This systemic treatment uses drugs to destroy cancer cells and is often used before or after surgery.
  • Radiation Therapy: High-energy rays are used to target and kill cancer cells, typically following surgery.
  • Hormonal Therapy: Used for cancers that are sensitive to hormones, this treatment blocks the body's natural hormones from supporting cancer growth.
  • Targeted Therapy: Focuses on specific characteristics of cancer cells, such as a protein that allows cancer cells to grow in a rapid or abnormal way.
