Team-Based Care: Your Needs at the Heart
Mayo Clinic embraces a collaborative approach to care. Our breast doctors from various specialties work together to determine the optimal treatment strategy for each individual facing breast cancer. This team-based approach ensures that you benefit from the collective expertise of various specialists.
Your care team is composed of experts specializing in breast health and screening. Depending on your specific needs, your team may include specialists from internal medicine, breast imaging, genetics, oncology, and surgery. This multidisciplinary team ensures comprehensive coverage of all aspects of your breast health journey.
Beyond physicians, your care team may also include oncology certified nurses, social workers, physical therapists, dietitians, genetic counselors, psychologists, lymphedema experts, and tobacco cessation counselors. At Mayo Clinic, we provide access to a wide array of support services, including cancer education, integrative medicine and health resources, and breast cancer supportive therapy and survivorship programs.
Mayo Clinic healthcare professionals are committed to maintaining the confidentiality of your health information. We encourage open communication between you and your primary care team regarding your treatment plan. With your consent, your Mayo Clinic team can also share your medical information with your primary healthcare professional or referring doctor, ensuring seamless continuity of care.
To streamline your experience, Breast Clinic services are coordinated by a dedicated breast cancer specialist. This breast doctor will meet with you to thoroughly understand your concerns and efficiently schedule all necessary appointments. This coordinated approach ensures prompt and efficient evaluation, with most of your care conveniently provided in one location. In many cases, you can receive a biopsy and have your results within 72 hours, minimizing wait times and reducing the need for multiple visits.
Advanced Diagnosis and Treatment by Leading Breast Doctors
Mayo Clinic breast doctors are at the forefront of utilizing the most advanced and innovative diagnostic and treatment techniques. Their extensive experience encompasses the full spectrum of breast conditions, from common concerns to rare, serious, and complex cases. Our advanced imaging capabilities include digital mammography, 3D mammogram (tomosynthesis), breast MRI, contrast-enhanced digital mammography (CEDM), and molecular breast imaging (MBI). Furthermore, Mayo Clinic physician-scientists are pioneers in applying precision medicine for breast cancer, tailoring treatment based on an individual’s genetic makeup or the specific genes within their tumor.
Mayo Clinic offers a comprehensive range of breast cancer treatment options, including proton therapy available at our Arizona and Minnesota campuses. Proton therapy, a sophisticated form of radiation therapy, allows our radiation oncologists to precisely target the affected area while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues such as the heart and lungs. Our consultation rooms, imaging suites, and treatment areas are thoughtfully designed with your comfort in mind.
Surgical innovations at Mayo Clinic are designed to make treatment more efficient and less invasive. Accelerated partial breast irradiation shortens treatment duration to several days instead of weeks. All-in-one surgery combines mastectomy and reconstruction into a single procedure. In certain situations, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, administered before surgery, can be used to shrink tumors, making surgical removal easier and more effective.
