Diagnosing breast cancer

Take advantage of 3D mammography and other breast imaging services that help your doctor make a timely, accurate diagnosis. You may also benefit from genetic testing to see if you carry an inherited gene mutation linked to breast cancer, such as BRCA1 or BRCA2.

Risk of breast cancer

The most common factors that increase your cancer risk are genetics and family history. Research shows the chances of developing breast cancer increase with other factors such as breast density, history of abnormal breast biopsies, previous radiation to the chest and lifestyle. Talk with your doctor to learn if the high-risk breast cancer program is right for you.

Breast cancer surgery

Most breast cancer care plans include surgery to remove cancerous tissue from your body. Work with your doctor to decide what type of surgery is best for you:

  • Mastectomy – Removes the breast to treat or prevent breast cancer.
  • Partial mastectomy (lumpectomy) – Removes only the cancerous tumor and some surrounding tissue.
  • Oncoplastic breast conservation surgery – Combines a partial mastectomy with plastic surgery in a single procedure to reshape the breast, position the nipple and/or help match breasts in size.
  • Lymph node surgery – Removes lymph nodes under your arm to see if cancer has spread, remove cancer that has spread or prevent your cancer from returning.

Options for breast reconstruction

If you want to restore the shape of your breast after treatment, talk to your doctor about options for breast reconstruction, including:

  • Autologus or “flap” reconstruction – Uses tissue from another part of your body to recreate your breast.
  • Delayed-immediate reconstruction – Places a tissue expander or temporary implant under your skin to preserve the shape of your breast while you complete other cancer treatments.
  • Immediate breast reconstruction – Reconstructs your breast at the same time that you have a mastectomy.
