Broadly speaking, treatment consists of two parts:
- Locoregional Treatment, which is the use of Surgery together with Radiotherapy to eliminate the cancer from the breast and armpit lymph nodes (also called axillary lymph nodes)
- Systemic Treatment, which is the use of Chemotherapy or Hormonal drugs e.g. tamoxifen to eliminate cancer cells in the body. Modern research has shown that clumps of cancer cells called micrometastases may be circulating in the body of a woman with breast cancer.
