HCC’s Comprehensive Breast Care team works together to treat the physical and emotional needs of each breast cancer patient, providing guidance from diagnosis through treatment and evaluation. We review individual cases every week during Breast Tumor Board Meetings, make recommendations and schedule appointments to accommodate the patient’s comfort and convenience.
