During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we are reminded that 1 in 8 U.S. women will develop invasive breast cancer during her lifetime. It is the number one diagnosis treated at Exeter Hospital's Center for Cancer Care, and tonight our breast cancer experts will explore some of the new and exciting treatment options that have evolved over the last 5 years.
The pendulum has swung once again to minimal surgery combined with new radiation techniques that are as effective as standard radiation. For example, in some cases a one-time radiation dose, called "intra-operative radiation therapy," can be completed during a lumpectomy. Exciting new plastic surgery procedures also offer patients options for improved cosmetic outcomes.
