Multidisciplinary Approach to Breast Cancer

In 2020, an estimated 276,480 women and 2,620 men in the U.S. will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer.

At UT Southwestern’s Center for Breast Care, patients benefit from the knowledge and experience of an entire team of breast care specialists, such as medical, surgical, and radiation oncologists; breast imaging specialists; genetic counselors; pathologists; nutritionists; a physical therapist; social support specialists; a network of researchers; and reconstructive surgeons.

Our breast cancer specialists have earned international recognition for their contributions to the field. Our caregivers participate in national, international, and institutional led clinical trials and are members of ECOG-ACRIN Cancer Research Group, which means our patients get access to multicenter clinical trials. 

Improving Breast Cancer Survival for All

While we should celebrate the progress we’ve made against breast cancer, it is even more important that together we renew and strengthen our commitment and efforts to cure this disease while also ensuring that all segments of society benefit from this progress.
