Systemic therapy and radiation therapy are key components of breast cancer treatment.
Treatment is planned based on disease characteristics and overall clinical context.
Systemic therapy
Systemic therapy includes chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and endocrine therapy.
Treatment is selected based on tumour biology, disease stage, and patient condition.
Different treatment modalities may be combined when appropriate
as part of overall management.
Treatment goals and potential risks are discussed prior to initiation.
Radiation therapy
Radiation therapy is provided as part of multidisciplinary breast cancer care.
It may be used after surgery or in other clinical settings,
depending on disease characteristics.
Treatment is coordinated with surgical and systemic therapy as needed.
Recurrent or metastatic breast cancer
For recurrent or metastatic disease,
treatment is planned based on disease extent,
prior treatment history, and patient condition.
Systemic therapy, radiation therapy, and supportive care
may be used in combination as appropriate.
Treatment goals vary between individuals and are discussed as part of care planning.
Bone metastasis management
Bone metastases are managed as part of overall care when present.
Treatment may include systemic therapy, radiation therapy,
and measures for symptom control.
Care is coordinated with relevant departments as needed.
Appointment
Appointments are required in principle.
A referral letter from another medical institution is recommended but not mandatory.
