Breast Cancer - Louisville
Understanding Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the cells of the breast. It is the most common cancer among women worldwide, but it can also affect men. At Norton Community Medical Associates in Louisville, we are committed to providing exceptional care for patients diagnosed with breast cancer.
Our team of highly skilled and experienced oncologists, surgeons, radiologists, and support staff work collaboratively to ensure that each patient receives personalized and comprehensive treatment.
Comprehensive Cancer Care Services
At Norton Community Medical Associates, we offer a wide range of cancer care services to support patients through every stage of their breast cancer journey.
1. Diagnostics and Screening
Early detection is crucial in improving the outcomes of breast cancer. Our state-of-the-art diagnostic tools and screening techniques help in identifying breast cancer at the earliest stage possible. We offer mammograms, breast ultrasounds, MRIs, and biopsies, among other diagnostic tests.
2. Treatment Options
Once a breast cancer diagnosis is confirmed, our team will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to each patient's specific needs. Our treatment options include:
- Surgical options: We offer various surgical procedures, including lumpectomy, mastectomy, breast-conserving surgery, and reconstructive surgeries.
- Chemotherapy: Our medical oncologists are experts in administering chemotherapy drugs to destroy cancer cells.
- Radiation therapy: We provide advanced radiation therapy techniques such as intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and brachytherapy to target and eradicate cancer cells with precision.
- Hormonal therapy: Estrogen and progesterone receptor-positive breast cancers can be treated with hormonal therapy to block the hormones that fuel cancer growth.
- Targeted therapy: We utilize targeted therapies that specifically attack cancer cells while minimizing damage to healthy cells.
3. Support Programs
We understand that a cancer diagnosis can be emotionally and physically challenging. That's why we offer various support programs to help our patients and their families cope with the impact of breast cancer. Our support programs include support groups, counseling services, educational resources, and survivorship programs.
