Generally, breast cancer treatment falls into the categories of surgery, chemotherapy, biologic therapies, and radiation.
Within these categories there are numerous different types of treatments, which can make it difficult to understand what is out there and how it may be used to treat breast cancer. The type and combination (if relevant) of treatment that a breast cancer patient may receive depends on many factors including but not limited to the stage of the breast cancer, the location, what other treatments have been used in the past.
