Breast cancer care is a team sport. You will typically meet surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, radiologists and pathologists, all coordinated around you.
What to look for in your team
- Experience with your specific type of cancer
- A multidisciplinary meeting that reviews your case
- Clear, patient communication — you understand your plan
- Convenient access and responsive staff
You can ask for a second opinion — doctors expect it, and it never offends good professionals. The right team is one you trust, where you ask questions freely and are listened to.
