Incredibly Effective: Typically, breast cancer is treated by a team of different cancer specialists. At first, the surgeon performs breast surgery. Later on, medical drugs (hormone drugs and chemotherapy) and/ or radiotherapy may be used. Other treatments include plastic surgery (for breast reconstruction) and physical therapy.
