PERSONALIZED TREATMENT FOR BREAST CANCER
At City of Hope, your treatment team will use state-of-the-art breast-imaging technologies and laboratory techniques to design a treatment that's tailored just for you. Here's what you can expect.
Genetic Signatures Genetic testing is one of the major advances made in breast cancer treatment in the last few years, said Dortha Chu, MD, PhD, who works at City of Hope's Santa Clarita and Mission Hills locations. Different breast tumors have their own unique genetic signatures. By testing for these, doctors can determine what type of breast cancer is present and how a tumor might behave, Chu said.
Surgical Selection Personalized treatment encompasses more than just genetic testing, though. For most patients with breast cancer, surgery is the first step, Chu said. Surgical options include lumpectomies and mastectomies, but there are sometimes nipple-sparing or skin-sparing options to consider.
Understanding your Options To Chu, personalized medicine starts with helping the patient fully understand the disease and their own unique test results. The next step is to discuss treatment options. That conversation is well worth the effort. Genetic advances have been a major step forward in providing customized treatment, Chu said. "And City of Hope has been on the forefront of helping to develop those kinds of treatments and establish their safety and efficacy."
