At Clinic Helena, an oncologist plans your individual breast cancer treatment in connection with your breast cancer surgery. Oncological treatment means cancer treatments that can include drug therapy, radiation therapy, and hormonal therapy. Drug therapies for cancer are often referred to as cytostatic therapy or chemotherapy. In the past, the term \u201ccytotoxic\u201d was also used, but it does not describe well the healing effect of modern cytostatic drugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oncological treatment is used to ensure that the tumour is destroyed completely and that no cancer cells remain in the body after cancer surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t

    Planning for Further Ttreatment of Breast Cancer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    After breast cancer surgery, a pathologist analyses all removed tissue sections and makes a final evaluation of the extent of the patient\u2019s breast cancer. Based on the findings, an oncologist then plans the oncological aftercare. This treatment also known as adjuvant therapy includes cytostatic therapy, radiotherapy, and hormonal therapy as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
