"My treatment plan was my choice, and my radiation oncologist, made sure of that. He was with me through my treatment process, and made sure that I was educated on all my options."

Surgery

One of your options to combat breast cancer is surgery. Surgery is performed to determine if breast cancer has spread to the lymph nodes, to restore the appearance of the breast, or to lessen the symptoms of advanced cancer.

Surgery may also be combined with other treatments like hormone therapy, chemotherapy or radiation therapy. The following surgical procedures are available at the Florida Hospital Cancer Institute:

Mastectomy

Extended Radical Mastectomy

Modified Radical Mastectomy

Partial Mastectomy (Lumpectomy)

Subcutaneous mastectomy

Prophylactic Mastectomy

Axillary Dissection

Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy

Breast Reconstruction

Florida Hospital's experienced and dedicated team offers advanced quality care to breast cancer patients.

Having performed thousands of breast cancer related surgeries, our oncology surgeons have significant experience and they work closely with our on-campus medical and radiation oncologists to provide the best possible care.

Our oncology nurses are specially trained and among the top in the country. In fact, according to the 2000 Gallup Organization survey, our nurses were ranked among the top 20 percent in the country for care and compassion.
