Before you begin any treatment, your doctor will review your pathology report and discuss the available breast cancer treatment options. The type of breast cancer treatment or treatments that are recommended will be based on the following factors:

• How small or large is the tumor
• Where the tumor is found in the breast
• If the tumor is invasive or in situ
• If cancer is present in the lymph nodes
• If cancer is found in other parts of the body

Be sure to ask your doctor if you have any questions or concerns about the breast cancer treatment option that is being recommended. It is a decision you and your doctor will make together, and it is important to know exactly what to expect with a procedure before you begin any form of treatment.
