Innovative Breast Cancer Treatment Options at Wake Forest Baptist

At Wake Forest Baptist, patients at our Breast Care Center have access to innovative breast cancer treatment options and the latest clinical trials. We make the most up-to-date approaches in breast cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and follow up available to our patients, allowing them to make informed, empowered decisions about their own care. We also provide breast cancer risk assessment for those in high risk categories.

Our multidisciplinary clinic consolidates the services of our team in a central location, maximizing collaboration between specialists in breast cancer prevention and treatment. We even feature a pathology laboratory right in the clinic, allowing for “on the spot” diagnosis, which can lead to a more rapid development of a breast cancer treatment plan—in most cases, the plan is in place by the end of the day.

Plus, the Center offers state-of-the-art genetic screening for those seeking breast cancer risk assessment. Patients who are found to have some risk can then elect to participate in breast cancer prevention clinical trials for access to the latest advances in this area.

From Breast Cancer Prevention Trials for High Risk Patients to Support for Survivors, We Go the Extra Mile

Above all, we handle the emotional and psychological needs of our patients. Our cancer patient support program, cited as a model program by the National Cancer Policy Board, offers counseling, support groups, and education for patients and their families. We also offer an appearance boutique where our patients receive expert, compassionate consultation on a variety of products that can promote confidence and provide comfort for those undergoing breast cancer treatment as well as the treatment of other cancers. The boutique is conveniently located within the Cancer Center so patients can visit when they are on our campus.

Choose Wake Forest Baptist for access to the most current interventional pulmonary procedures, surgical techniques, radiation techniques, and chemotherapy, as well as the most current breast cancer prevention options in the field. We can help develop a comprehensive breast cancer treatment plan that can improve both your quantity and quality of life.
