Indeed, medicine today offers breast cancer patients more treatment options and more hope for survival than ever before. A variety of technologically advanced techniques are available through the breast care program, along with care strategies selected for each woman and implemented by multidisciplinary teams of care providers led by physicians on the medical staff.
Teams now include not only medical specialists but also a breast care coordinator who reflects the program's renewed emphasis on a patient-centered approach. These compassionate professionals help patients navigate the course of care, from treatment to reconstruction to follow-up. A driving principle behind the newly revamped program is the expressed intention to give women a range of options and a voice during the course of care. Patients are able to work with the care team as decisions are made in order to give them a greater sense of control.
The Breast Care Program, along with physicians on the medical staff, offers a full continuum of care that makes Texas Health Dallas a key center not only for the prevention, detection and diagnosis of breast cancer but also for treatment of the disease. Texas Health Dallas is working to establish a reputation as the place to seek help when a woman has received a diagnosis of breast cancer.
