Treatment for Breast Cancer Dignity Health Central California

There are standard treatments that are known to be effective for curing breast cancer. 

Our treatment options include: 

• Hormone therapy is ideal for hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. Hormone therapy drugs block the effects of hormones so the cancer won’t grow.
• Targeted therapy involves applying cancer-killing drugs to cancer cells.
• Chemotherapy, a standard treatment for breast cancer, is often used with surgery and other treatment options.
• Radiation therapy helps shrink tumors and kill remaining cancer cells after surgery. It’s often used to relieve symptoms of advanced stages of breast cancer.
• Surgery to remove the tumor from your breast can be done through a lumpectomy, a breast-conserving surgery, or a mastectomy, which removes the entire breast. 

It’s common for several types of treatments to be used together to increase the chances of a complete cure.

At Dignity Health Central California hospitals, choosing a breast cancer treatment is a collaborative experience. Your doctor will review your treatment options and explain all risks, benefits, and side effects associated with each type of treatment.
