Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women, and can affect men as well. It often arrives silently, with few symptoms.
Scripps Cancer Center’s network of care providers offers leading physician expertise, the latest technological tools, and a wide range of support services to assist patients through diagnosis, treatment, recovery and survivorship.
We also have a cancer genetics program that helps identify women who may be at increased risk for breast cancer due to family history or genetic makeup.
From genetic testing and on-site diagnostic imaging, to the latest radiation, surgical and systemic treatments, we are equipped to provide prompt, comprehensive care for patients who have breast cancer, or are at high risk of getting it.
