A member asked:
Could you tell me what are other options other then chemotherapy for stage 2 breast cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
"Options": The standard and recommended treatment in premenopausal patients would usually included chemotherapy and an anti-hormone regimen. Chemo is only used in about 15% of postmenopausal women, those who have hormone negative tumors. Radiation is used in breast sparing procedures, and is used to supplement mastectomy patients. If you are unsure, get a second oncological opinion. Good luck.
