First Incision

Early Breast Cancer - Treatment


Listen Later

Let's talk about the treatment of early breast cancer.

This episode covers:
- the importance of the MDT in breast cancer treatment
- surgery
- what to do with the axilla
- radiotherapy
- the MDT approach
- chemotherapy
- endocrine therapy
- neoadjuvant versus adjuvant treatment
And the importance of the MDT approach in breast cancer treatment

This area is super complex - but this episode aims to cover the key concepts and themes, with the more complex decision making left for the specialists.
