Get the future of breast cancer treatment today .

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 well-being  is our priority.

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:
