The multidisciplinary team of UF physicians at the Breast Center at the University of Florida Shands Cancer Center provides the full range of cancer care and breast reconstruction and collaborate to develop the optimal treatment plan for each patient.

The Breast Center team consistently leads the way in developing innovative treatments and therapies, including performing the first MR-guided breast biopsy in North Central Florida.

The Breast Center team offers several types of treatments for stages of breast cancer, including:

• Surgery
• Lumpectomy - removes a small tumor and a margin of normal tissue around the tumor.
• Mastectomy - surgery to remove the entire breast.
• Chemotherapy
• Radiation
• Hormone therapy - prevents cancer cells from receiving the hormones needed to grow
