Mercy Health Cancer Center
Breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women in the United States and results in nearly 40,000 deaths each year. Although the number of breast cancer cases has risen over the last decade, the death rate is declining. If your breast cancer screening or mammogram shows signs of cancer, Mercy Health offers comprehensive treatment for women of all ages, with all types of breast cancer, and at all stages of the disease. Treating breast cancer involves using multiple therapies. It can include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy and hormonal therapy. Our exceptional team of cancer caregivers, including imaging specialists, nurses, physicians, as well as nutrition, rehabilitation and exercise experts, will be at your side, helping you every step of the way as you work toward recovery.
