1 in 8 women in the US will develop breast cancer in their lifetime, but regular screening dramatically increases the odds of recovery. Breast cancer is a very complex disease, and each case is unique. At West Cancer Center & Research Institute our team of specialist understands that no two breast cancer cases are alike.
At West we see more than 2,000 new breast cancer patients a year. This high volume of patients means that our physicians have more experience than most community practitioners.
West Cancer Center is dedicated to reducing racial disparity and very proud to have survival statistics above the national average for women of color who are 40% more likely to die from Breast Cancer.
Some of the Breast Cancer types we treat include:
- Ductal Carcinoma in Situ
- HER2
- HER2-Positive
- Inflammatory
- Invasive Lobular Carcinoma
- Invasive Ductal Carcinoma
- Male Breast Cancer
- Metastatic Breast Cancer
- Paget’s Disease of the Breast
