Additional Treatment Options

Even if all the cancer at the time of the surgery is removed, your physician may recommend a post-operative course of therapy to destroy any remaining cancer cells. Treatment given after surgery, to increase the chances of a cure, is called adjuvant therapy. It may involve:

• Radiation therapy, including accelerated partial breast irradiation
• Chemotherapy
• Hormone therapy
