Different types of treatment are available for breast cancer. You and your cancer care team will work together to decide your treatment plan, which may include more than one type of treatment.
Your treatment options may include both local and systemic treatments. Local treatments, such as surgery and radiation, are directed at the area with cancer and not the whole body. Systemic treatments, such as chemotherapy, are drugs that can reach cancer cells throughout the body.
