Thanks to advanced therapies and technologies, more people are surviving breast cancer than ever before. At our cutting-edge breast cancer treatment clinic, our compassionate team of experts is dedicated to providing comprehensive care and support throughout your journey.

Maimonides Breast Cancer Center is helping to lead the way: We are proud to be recognized as some of the top breast cancer doctors in the country, as acknowledged by the prestigious American College of Surgeons.This recognition affirms that we offer advanced diagnostic technology and a full range of quality treatments.

We offer this range of options because we believe in treating the whole patient, not just the disease. We are not just a team of experts, but an expert team, there to answer your questions and guide you through every step of treatment and recovery.

And we can start without delay: If you have a suspected diagnosis or a diagnosis of breast cancer, we can see you within 1-2 business days of your appointment request.

Advanced breast cancer treatment options

At our state-of-the-art breast cancer treatment clinic, our dedicated team of breast cancer doctors, reconstructive surgeons, oncologists, radiologists, and other specialists collaborate to customize therapies based on your unique diagnosis. Working together—and with you—they’ll create a treatment plan including one or more of the following:

Rapid, precise diagnosis

If you suspect a diagnosis of breast cancer, our specialized team at the breast cancer clinic near you can rapidly confirm the diagnosis and initiate appropriate treatment.

Through our rapid assessment service, we can schedule an appointment within 1-2 business days of an appointment request—and sometimes as early as the same day. Upon diagnosis, your care team will immediately set up appointments with specialists in your specific type of cancer. From diagnosis to treatment, we can save days of time, which can improve outcomes.

To ensure the most accurate diagnoses and effective treatment planning, we offer the most advanced diagnostic technologies, including:

  • 3D mammograms (tomosynthesis)
  • Stereotactic biopsy table
  • Wire-free radar localization for lumpectomy

Genetic testing and counseling

We offer testing to determine if you—or your family members—have genetic mutations that put you at high risk of specific cancers. If you do, we’ll develop individualized plans to detect these cancers in their early stages or prevent them entirely.

Breast surgery

Surgery to remove the tumor is often the first step in breast cancer treatment. Our surgeons focus on preserving as much of your healthy breast tissue as possible. We offer:

  • Minimally invasive lumpectomy: Lumpectomy is a procedure to remove the tumor. Our surgeons typically use minimally invasive techniques, which help reduce scarring, incision size and blood loss—and speed recovery.
  • Minimally invasive mastectomy: Our surgeons’ minimally invasive techniques speed recovery, allow for a more cosmetic outcome and improve the quality of later breast reconstruction, among other benefits.
  • Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS): If you would like to have your breasts reconstructed, our plastic surgeons will help you choose the best option based on your individual needs. We offer both implant-based and autologous reconstruction, which uses your own tissue to create natural-looking breasts. A combination of medication and anesthesia before and during surgery helps prevent and manage any pain that might result from surgery.

Medical therapies

Our team offers a full range of the latest medical therapies, including:

  • Biological therapy and immunotherapy: These targeted treatments prompt the immune system to recognize and kill cancer cells.
  • Chemotherapy: These drugs stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.
  • HRT: These therapies slow or stop hormone-sensitive tumor growth. They work by blocking hormone production or by interfering with the effects of hormones on cancer cells.

Radiation therapy

Our radiation therapy team offers a variety of options—many of which are designed to precisely kill cancer cells while limiting damage to healthy tissue. These options include:

  • Brachytherapy and interstitial brachytherapy
  • Electron beam therapy
  • External beam radiation
  • Image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT)
  • Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT)
  • Neutron beam therapy
  • Stereotactic radiotherapy
  • Three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT)

Clinical trials

Clinical trials allow you to try potential new options for treating cancer or relieving treatment side effects. All of today’s standard cancer treatments are a result of previous clinical trials.
