Medical Oncology Services

For patients who are diagnosed with breast cancer, your treatment — which may include chemotherapy — will be continued at the Bennett Cancer Center. Medical oncology services are available on the second floor of the Center at Hematology Oncology, PC, a private practice consisting of seven physicians, specially trained nurse practitioners, oncology nurses and additional support staff. The services provided by the practice include:

Preoperative (Neoadjuvant) Chemotherapy

Particularly for women with larger breast tumors, chemotherapy might be used to try to shrink the size of the tumor prior to surgery.

Adjuvant Systemic Therapies

Chemotherapy, hormonal therapy and other targeted therapies might be recommended to reduce the risk of recurrence for women who are considered high risk.

Consultation & Second Opinion Services

Women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer at another institution may want a comprehensive evaluation of their treatment options. The hospital's team of breast surgeons, radiologists and pathologists, in cooperation with medical and radiation oncologists at the Bennett Cancer Center, is available to help identify and prioritize your choices.
