In the case of a breast cancer diagnosis, we provide a treatment plan, treatment options and a breast cancer nurse navigator to help ensure continuity of care. Our treatment program includes a Multidisciplinary Breast Clinic designed to help patients understand the cancer care process and get patients into breast cancer treatment quickly. Traditionally it can take patients up to eight weeks to complete the first round of appointments before they even start treatment, the multidisciplinary clinic saves valuable time.
Other components of our breast cancer treatment program include:
- Breast Cancer Nurse Navigator
- Genetic counseling
- PET/CT Scans
- Intraoperative Radiation Therapy (IORT): IORT is an innovative form of radiation therapy for breast cancer patients with small, early-stage tumors. It can be given during a lumpectomy operation shortly after the tumor is removed. IORT can also be done as a second procedure if a patient prefers to have a lumpectomy at another hospital and then come to Littleton Adventist Hospital for the radiation portion of the treatment.
