About Breast Oncology
Breast oncology treats breast cancer with systemic therapy chosen by tumour features: hormone receptors, HER2 and grade. Treatment may be given before surgery to shrink tumours or after to reduce recurrence.
Early detection by mammography and awareness improves outcomes. Women with young-onset or family history may benefit from genetic testing such as BRCA.
