Breast cancer treatment
Breast cancer treatment will depend on a number of factors such as size and location of the breast lump, the stage at which it was detected and the results of hormone receptor tests. Recommendations of the National Institute of Health (NIH) include chemotherapy for treatment of localized breast cancer.

 Hormone therapy was suggested as breast cancer treatment for tumors containing estrogen receptors. Mastectomy and lumpectomy patients were advised to go in for radiation therapy after surgery. New and radical breast cancer treatments have brought hope to the hearts of those suffering from this form of the Big C. Earlier, surgery was always seen as the first line of attack.
