Access to the latest treatments and clinical trials

In addition to receiving the latest advances in treatment such as sentinel lymph node mapping, skin sparing surgery, immediate reconstruction and brachytherapy radiation, patients have access to the latest clinical trials on breast cancer treatment and prevention.

Our extensive research in breast cancer allows for the rapid translation of research from the lab to the clinic, and our patients benefit from being able to participate in select trials. The research trials provide essential information about diagnosis, cancer control, treatment, survival and side effects so patients and doctors can make informed decisions.

Genetic screening is also available for those who are concerned about hereditary risk factors. Patients who do not have cancer, but who are at high risk, may elect to participate in breast cancer prevention trials.
