Breast Cancer Program

As the most diagnosed cancer for women, a breast cancer diagnosis can be frightening and confusing. So can test results that point to other, non-cancerous, breast health concerns.

At The Cancer Center at Lowell General Hospital you can turn to people who know the facts and can help you understand what they mean to you. You may come to us because of a questionable finding on mammography, a doctor's request for a core biopsy, or a diagnosis of breast cancer. Whatever your reason, here you'll find explanations, in terms you can understand and care that is convenient, compassionate and clinically advanced.

A Woman is Never Alone With a Breast Cancer Diagnosis

From the beginning, you'll have a caring and knowledgeable Breast Health Navigator to walk you through every step of your care, to lead you through the process, answer your questions, and guide you through whatever tests, procedures and treatment you may need. She will assemble your team of medical experts for a multi-disciplinary Breast Conference, where the group will meet with you to help define your diagnosis, review your options, answer your questions and provide a clear, direct path to approach your breast cancer that you are comfortable with. Care here is coordinated and seamless across your doctors and caregivers, problems are solved and uncertainties are resolved. Learn more about our Multidisciplinary Consultation.
