Breast cancer treatments often vary based on the type of cancer you have. Depending on whether you are newly diagnosed, have recurring cancer, have cancer that has spread, or are at a high genetic risk, our doctors may recommend different care plans. Your treatment may include surgery, radiation, cancer medications, or a combination of these methods.
Surgery for Breast Cancer
Breast surgery aims to remove the cancer and, depending on your preference, rebuild the structure and appearance of your breast. Our breast cancer surgeons carry out advanced and innovative approaches to breast conservation, mastectomy, and breast reconstruction surgeries. These techniques mean fewer procedures for you and less time in the hospital.
The types of breast surgery we perform include:
- Breast-conserving surgery (also known as lumpectomy)
- Mastectomy, including nipple-sparing mastectomy
- Breast reconstruction
Radiation works to treat cancer by killing cancer cells and making the tumor smaller. We use the most advanced breast cancer radiation therapy techniques to target difficult-to-reach areas of the breast and protect nearby healthy tissue. Types of radiation therapies we use include:
- 3-D conformal radiation therapy
- Accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI)
- Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT)
- Intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT)
If you are battling breast cancer recurrence or metastasis, we provide advanced diagnosis options and leading expertise to deliver the optimal care you need. We offer the latest breast cancer radiation therapy treatments for recurrent or metastatic breast cancer.
Cancer-fighting medications can be used to destroy cancer cells that have spread from the breast to other parts of the body. Administered into your veins or in pill form, the medications circulate throughout your entire body. Our doctors and researchers have been at the forefront of developing new cancer drugs for years, providing you with access to the most successful and groundbreaking therapies. Treatments we may recommend include:
Cancer medications administered before surgery aim to shrink the cancer to make surgery more successful. If you receive cancer medications after surgery, the treatment targets any remaining microscopic disease.
Breast Cancer Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are research studies that evaluate a new medical approach, device, drug, or other treatment. As a Stanford Medicine patient, you may have access to the latest, advanced clinical trials through the Stanford Cancer Institute.
Open trials refer to studies that are currently recruiting participants or that may recruit participants in the near future. Closed trials are not currently enrolling additional patients.
