The multidisciplinary physician team provides comprehensive care to patients with breast cancer. Services range from initial screening and diagnosis to high-risk genetic counseling to innovative breast cancer treatment, supportive services, such as fertility preservation for cancer patients, and survivorship care. The program's specialists have expertise in the treatment of young women with breast cancer, women with high-risk, hereditary breast cancers, triple-negative breast cancer, lobular breast cancer, recurrent breast cancer, and breast cancer metastases.
