Women with breast cancer now have many treatment options, which is dependent on many factors such as size and history of the tumor, whether there is lymph node involvement, breast size and location of the tumor, patient's age and general health. Certain features of the tumor cells (such as whether they depend on hormones to grow) are also considered.

The multidisciplinary design of the Evergreen Breast Center provides patients access to a team of care givers who collaborate in their consultation and care. The Cancer Advisory Board meets weekly to discuss all breast cancer cases and the various treatment options available. For patients, this means the top minds from all disciplines of breast cancer care are involved in developing the best treatment plan specific to each individual.

Evergreen provides a wide range of treatment protocol for breast cancer. Treatment recommendations are based upon certain factors or characteristics that are determined during the diagnostic work-up. These factors include tumor characteristics, patient characteristics and stage of disease (how early or advanced the cancer is).

Evergreen is pleased to team with NexCura, Inc. to provide patients with The NexProfiler. This decision-support tool will help you understand your treatment options and the possible side effects. It also provides you with questions to ask your doctor and personalized reports using published medical research papers.
