The Coleman Foundation Comprehensive Breast Center offers the following services to patients:
Advanced Treatment Options
As part of our Center, you will receive the newest treatments available for breast cancer, including:
-
Advanced chemotherapy drugs, biological/targeted treatments and hormonal therapies medicines
-
Innovative radiation treatments, including breast brachytherapy
-
Precise, effective surgeries. In fact, it's our philosophy that for each and every patient, breast-sparing surgery should be considered. But when a mastectomy is the preferred option, patients can opt for immediate breast reconstruction using the latest surgical techniques.
A personalized treatment plan will be developed after your initial visit and you meet with the clinical team. All follow-up and treatment appointments will be arranged for you by our nurse coordinator.
Additionally, through our active research program, patients are able to enroll in one of our numerous breast cancer research studies. For more information see our Breast Cancer Clinical Trials page.
