Upcoming EventsAt The Breast Center at Montefiore Nyack Hospital, we offer multidisciplinary breast cancer consultation that incorporates surgery, medical oncology and radiation oncology input and recommendations into a single visit. This allows patients to get consensus opinions and recommendations for treatment from our board-certified specialists so they can feel more confident that they’ve explored all their options.
Our breast surgeons and breast surgical oncologists offer comprehensive consultations to those considering surgery to treat everything from benign breast concerns to diagnosed malignancies. Consultations include a detailed medical history, a physical exam and discussion about which surgical options are best for you. All our surgeons are trained in oncoplastic surgery: coordinated breast cancer surgery by breast oncologic surgeons and plastic surgeons. Our surgical teams use the latest oncologic and reconstruction techniques for the best possible clinical and cosmetic outcomes.
Oncoplastic breast surgery not only enables patients to move past their cancer diagnosis psychologically and emotionally, but it’s also effective. Research shows that patients who have this type of surgery don’t have a higher risk of cancer recurrence than those who have traditional surgery.
Thanks to breakthroughs in medical research, people treated for cancer are living longer than ever. At Montefiore Nyack Hospital, researchers conduct clinical trials to identify new ways to prevent, detect or treat breast cancer. They also look for ways to improve patients’ quality of life. Researchers test new drugs, surgical procedures and devices, as well as new ways to use existing treatments, to answer questions about their safety, benefits and side effects.
If you participate in a clinical trial, you might receive a new treatment and your quality of life and/or medical outcome might improve as a result. By participating in a clinical trial you’ll help improve the care of future patients.
