News & Events
Introduction
Welcome to Kadlec Tri-Cities Cancer Center, where we are dedicated to raising awareness about breast cancer during Breast Cancer Awareness (BCA) Month. As a leading healthcare facility in the Tri-Cities area, we strive to provide comprehensive information and support for individuals affected by breast cancer. At Sibel Blau, we understand the significance of early detection, treatment options, and the importance of support services throughout the journey.
Understanding Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is a prevalent form of cancer that primarily affects women, but can also occur in men. It occurs when abnormal cells in the breast tissue grow uncontrollably, forming a tumor. While the exact causes remain unclear, certain risk factors such as age, family history, hormonal factors, and lifestyle choices can increase an individual's likelihood of developing breast cancer.
The Importance of Early Detection
Early detection of breast cancer plays a crucial role in successful treatment and improved outcomes. Regular self-examinations, clinical breast exams, and mammograms are essential for identifying any potential abnormalities. It is recommended that women over the age of 40 undergo annual mammograms, while individuals with a family history or other risk factors may need to start screenings even earlier.
Treatment Options
When it comes to breast cancer treatment, multiple factors come into play, including the stage, type, and individual patient characteristics. The Kadlec Tri-Cities Cancer Center offers a multidisciplinary approach to treatment, tailoring plans to each patient's unique needs. Treatment options may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and hormone therapy. Our experienced team of oncologists and healthcare professionals is dedicated to providing compassionate care and support throughout the treatment journey.
Support Services
Dealing with breast cancer can be emotionally and physically challenging. At Kadlec Tri-Cities Cancer Center, we understand the importance of support services to improve the overall well-being of patients and their families. Our range of support services includes individual counseling, support groups, educational resources, and survivorship programs. We believe in fostering a supportive community that empowers individuals to navigate their breast cancer journey with strength and resilience.
