Breast Cancer Care - Mayo Clinic

Imagine having all your specialists — breast surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, breast health specialists and dedicated breast radiologists — in one location to offer you the best experience and treatment options. That’s the Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center approach. Seamless collaboration among our experts ensures you receive comprehensive, life-affirming care. Our dedicated breast cancer team is here to guide you through every step, from early screening and diagnosis to personalized treatment and survivorship support.

As a leader in state-of-the-art diagnostics and transformative therapies, Mayo Clinic offers a comprehensive range of breast cancer therapies and surgeries:

Expedited multidisciplinary appointment itineraries with appropriate breast focused specialties including health specialists, medical oncologists, surgical oncologists, and radiation oncologists
Cutting-edge approaches to systemic and radiation therapies, including short-course regimens that limit patient time at the hospital
Clinical trials focused on patient-centered care and novel treatments. Our clinical trials provide access to new medications, surgical techniques, and radiation plans. Every patient receives treatment, with no placebo groups. These trials offer more effective and safer options, often beyond standard care.
Customizing your treatment, each cancer is as unique as the person it affects. That's why we fine-tune your treatment based on your cancer's genetics.
Expertise in all forms of breast surgery, including mastectomies and lumpectomies also known as, breast-conserving surgery or wide local excision
Nipple-sparing mastectomy and immediate reconstruction
Advanced reconstruction techniques using your own tissue
Combination surgeries to reduce the number of procedures, such as combining a lumpectomy with a breast lift or reduction
Expert collaboration between breast surgical oncologists and plastic surgeons to ensure the best outcomes

Should surgery be part of your plan, our in-house pathologists use frozen section analysis of the breast tissue and lymph nodes from all breast surgery and can instantly verify that all cancerous tissue has been removed right then and there during surgery—a unique advantage not commonly found elsewhere often minimizing the need for repeat operations.

Your peace of mind matters to us. That's why we take every step to ensure all your needs are met—those associated with your treatment and all the unexpected impacts of your cancer diagnosis. Your care plan can include:

Cold cap therapy to reduce chemotherapy hair loss
Stress management, acupuncture, and massage to address the mental and emotional impacts of your diagnosis
Wellness webinars and patient retreats so you can connect with other people who have been in your shoes
