Managing Locally Advanced Breast Cancer

From: http://www.beetmedicine.tv/2009/04/ma... If a cancer is large when it is first treated it may be categorized as locally advanced according to the criteria described by Dr. Amber Guth, a surgeon, and Dr. Novik, an oncologist. Initial treatment is usually a combination of chemo-hormonal therapy before there is any surgery. The response to treatment predicts prognosis. Sometimes tumor shrinkage is so dramatic that a lumpectomy can be performed. Breast reconstruction may be feasible following a mastectomy. This multidisciplinary treatment has accomplished the best results. -- Peter Pressman, MD Interviewees: Yelena Novik, MD Medical Director, NYUCI Clinical Trials Office Assistant Professor & Medical Oncologist NYU Cancer Institute at NYU Langone Medical Center and Amber Guth, MD Director, Breast Cancer Fellowship Associate Professor & Breast Surgeon NYU Cancer Institute at NYU Langone Medical Center
