A
minority of women with breast lumps will have cancer. If you need
treatment, it will take place within St. Mary’s Hospital Center in
our Cancer Care Program. Treatment options may include surgery,
radiotherapy and chemotherapy or a combination of several of these
treatments with our interdisciplinary team.

Treatment plans
are designed to meet the unique needs of each person with cancer.
Treatment decisions for breast cancer are based on:
the stage of the breast cancer
- if the woman has reached menopause
- the hormone receptor status of the cancer
- the HER2 status of the cancer
- the risk for recurrence (with early stage breast
cancer)
- the overall health of the woman
- the woman's personal decision about certain treatments
