Breast Cancer Management Treatment
Breast cancer treatment varies depending on the stage and type of cancer, but typically involves a combination of surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and targeted treatments. Early-stage breast cancer may be treated with lumpectomy (removal of the tumour) or mastectomy (removal of the breast), often followed by radiation therapy to destroy any remaining cancer cells. Hormone therapy may be used in cases where the cancer is hormone receptor-positive, while HER2-positive cancers are treated with targeted therapies like trastuzumab.
In more advanced cases, chemotherapy is often used to shrink tumours and prevent the spread of cancer. Immunotherapy, which harnesses the immune system to fight cancer, is also being increasingly used for certain types of breast cancer. Supportive care, including physical therapy, counselling, and nutrition guidance, is an essential part of managing side effects and improving the quality of life during and after treatment.
