The most effective way to treat breast cancer is surgery. If the tumor can not be cured by surgery, there are many other treatments, but none of these work as well as surgery, statistically speaking. This is one reason why it is so important to screen for breast cancer with self-exams and mammography, we need to catch these tumors early enough that surgery is the best option.

"Laurent" is right. Surgery. Surgery performed early in the course of the disease. That is why screening is so important. And the word is "effective." You probably knew that - just a typo.

It all depends on the type of cancer. age of the patient, extent of spread in nearby structures or distant organs at the time of diagnosis and patients will and some other factors. different modalities used are; Chemotherapy..means treatment by cytotoxic drugs. Radiotherapy:Destroying the cancerous cells by radio wave Surgery:Include excision of the lump alone or partial mastectomy or complete mastectomy(excision of whole breast)or complete mastectomy and removal of regional lymph nodes. Hormone Therapy; Treating the cancer by hormones for details of all these choices click the link below http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/283561-treatment

Surgery without a doubt. I don't understand why women with breast cancer don't do it and opt for chemo. Just yesterday I heard about a woman who has been battling breast cancer for 7 yrs. That's absurd. Why she is putting herself through all this chemo and radiation is beyond me when she could have a mastectomy and be done with it. I don't understand that. Are women so hung up on keeping their breast that they would risk their life like that? There's always reconstructive surgery after a mastectomy. So, for me, it's surgery. Good luck with your science project. ADD Why did someone give Spreedog a thumbs down. Come on people. He is a genuine doctor and probably the only one who knows the correct answer. The ones I don't believe are the ones that say, "Hello, I'm a doctor, Take tamoxefin." Those are the ones that are phony because no Dr will tell you that. Stop giving him thumbs down, please.

First mamography, then by surgery if its intial stage then radiation if required.

The traditional methods of fighting breast cancer is usually a combination of treatments. They opt for surgery to remove the tumor. They can shrink the tumor by chemotherapy. They often use radiation as an insurance policy to make sure it does not return in the same area. If you only use surgery, and there was no evidence of the cancer leaving the area then they would follow it up with radiation. If it had gone into the lymph nodes they would surgically remove those and some surrounding ones and then use chemotherapy to chase any rouge cells that may have entered the bloodstream. So, the most effective way to treat breast cancer is probably a combination of proven traditional treatments. When my wife was in the radiation ward we met other breast cancer patients that was stage 0. Tumor was very small but they still underwent radiation.

The traditional treaments for any cancer are - REMOVAL OF TUMOR BY SURGERY, CHEMOTHERAPY and RADIATION THERAPHY. These threee are the basic treaments found most effective for BREAST CANCER also. Any other treatment come in only when thre is no imporvement by these treatments. The nature of surgery, medicine of chemotheraphy and amount of radiation to be given to individual patient will be decided by the treating Oncologist of the patient based on various factor of the patient and disease such as : Health condition of the patient, Stage of the disease and how far it has developed and spread and finally the stage of the disease by which the speedof spreading of the disease will be identified. All these factors will make great impact to decide and give the required treatments to the concerned patients. -

Breast Cancer What Are the Treatments? If you have breast cancer, do what you can as soon as you can to treat it. But before making treatment decisions, research your options. Ask questions of your doctor, other specialists, and people who have had the disease. Find a doctor you trust, and don't rush your decision. A brief delay between diagnosis and treatment will not compromise the effectiveness of treatment. http://www.ghi.com/topic.aspx?page=104
