OUR TEAM APPROACH TO YOUR CARE

Our radiologists collaborate closely with other cancer specialists to ensure seamless coordination of care for each breast cancer patient. At our weekly Breast Cancer Tumor Board, the details of each breast cancer patient's case are discussed in detail by a group of surgeons, oncologists, pathologists, and genetic counselors.

This multidisciplinary approach ensures that every aspect of a patient's case is carefully considered in an integrated and coordinated manner.
