Types of Breast Cancer Treated at BM Hospital

At [BM Hospital], our breast cancer specialists are trained to treat all forms of breast cancer, including but not limited to:

1. Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS): A non-invasive cancer confined to the milk ducts.

2. Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (IDC): The most common form of breast cancer, which begins in the milk ducts and invades surrounding tissue.

3. Invasive Lobular Carcinoma (ILC): Cancer that begins in the lobules and spreads to nearby tissues.

4. Inflammatory Breast Cancer: A rare and aggressive form of breast cancer that causes redness and swelling in the breast.

5. Triple-Negative Breast Cancer: A subtype of breast cancer that lacks the three most common receptors known to fuel breast cancer growth: estrogen, progesterone, and HER2.

6. HER2-Positive Breast Cancer: A type of breast cancer that tests positive for a protein called HER2, which promotes the growth of cancer cells.

7. Metastatic Breast Cancer: Cancer that has spread to other parts of the body beyond the breast.

Breast Cancer Diagnosis at BM Hospital

Early detection of breast cancer significantly improves treatment outcomes. At [BM Hospital], our specialists use the latest diagnostic methods to detect breast cancer at its earliest stages:

• Mammography: A low-dose X-ray used to detect abnormalities in the breast tissue.

• Ultrasound: Used to assess lumps or irregularities in breast tissue and help guide biopsies.

• MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging): Used in conjunction with mammography for high-risk patients or to evaluate the extent of the cancer.

• Biopsy: A procedure where a small sample of tissue is taken for laboratory examination to confirm the presence of cancer cells.

Breast Cancer Treatment Options at BM Hospital

Our breast cancer specialists at [BM Hospital] are experts in a wide range of treatments, ensuring that every patient receives the most effective care based on their diagnosis. Some of the treatment options we offer include:

1. Surgery:

   • Breast-Conserving Surgery (Lumpectomy): Removal of the tumor while preserving the breast.

   • Mastectomy: Removal of the entire breast or both breasts (if necessary).

   • Lymph Node Surgery: Removal of nearby lymph nodes to check for cancer spread.

2. Chemotherapy:

   • A systemic treatment that uses drugs to destroy cancer cells or prevent them from growing.

   • It may be used before surgery (neoadjuvant therapy), after surgery (adjuvant therapy), or for metastatic cancer.

3. Radiation Therapy:

   • High-energy radiation is used to destroy cancer cells, often after surgery to eliminate any remaining cancer cells.

4. Hormone Therapy:

   • If the cancer is hormone receptor-positive, treatments like Tamoxifen or Aromatase Inhibitors are used to block the body’s production of hormones or prevent them from fueling cancer growth.

5. Targeted Therapy:

   • Targeted therapies like Herceptin (for HER2-positive cancers) target specific molecules involved in cancer cell growth and spread.

6. Immunotherapy:

   • Uses the body’s immune system to fight cancer, particularly for cancers that are resistant to traditional treatments.
