Breast Cancer Treatment Center

Dr. Leroy Parker consults with a patient.

Patients at the Breast Oncology Center are cared for by health care professionals with extensive experience in the needs of women with local, regional, and metastatic breast cancer. From risk assessment and evaluation of worrisome lumps and mammography results to the delivery of innovative therapies from clinical trials, our physicians offer patients a wide range of services. Care is delivered by a multidisciplinary team consisting of surgical oncologists specializing in breast cancer, medical and radiation oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, reproductive medicine specialists, plastic surgeons, oncology practitioners and nurses, and genetic counselors.

Clinical research is a vital aspect of the Breast Oncology Center. This research not only gives current patients access to clinical trials offering promising new treatments, but also contributes to advancements in therapies for future generations of women with breast cancer.
