Information on Breast Cancer Treatments

Chemotherapy
Cancer cells usually grow more rapidly than normal cells, and chemotherapy drugs work against
them by interfering with their growth and reproduction. Learn more information on breast cancer
and breast cancer treatment.

Radiation Therapy
When doctors use the term adjuvant therapy, they mean the use of radiation, chemotherapy, or
hormonal therapy after surgery to kill or inhibit metastatic cancer cells not removed during surgery.

Hormonal Treatment
Tamoxifen is the drug most commonly used to block estrogen receptors on cancer cells, in effect,
denying them the estrogen they need to grow and multiply. This is one other option for breast cancer
treatment.

Herceptin
Herceptin can block HER2 from stimulating cell growth and appears to encourage the immune
system to attack cancers more effectively.

Comprehensive Breast Centers
Women with breast cancer increasingly are choosing to be treated at comprehensive breast centers
that offer up-to-date treatments and the specialists that can provide them. Learn more information
