Stages of Breast Cancer
Stage is a measure of the extent of breast cancer, and is based on the size of the tumor and the presence or absence of lymph node metastases and distant metastases (spread to other parts of the body). Determining the stage of breast cancer may require blood tests, chest X-rays, mammography, CT, or MRI procedures.
Breast Cancer Treatments
When breast cancer is identified during a biopsy, other tests may be performed on the specimen in order to further classify the cancer and determine the best treatment strategy. Based on the stage of the cancer and the results of these tests, a treatment plan is personalized for each individual and may involve the following breast cancer treatments.

Genetic Risk Evaluation and Testing Program
Genetic testing analyzes your DNA to detect specific, inheritable, disease-related gene mutations that may increase the risk of breast cancer. While you can’t inherit breast cancer, you can inherit a higher risk for developing it. Please contact your Austin-area cancer center in the Austin-area to discuss genetic testing.
