Dedicated to Breast Health
Cedars-Sinai's Saul and Joyce Brandman Breast Center, A Project of Women's Guild and the Samuel Oschin Comprehensive Cancer Institute is dedicated to breast health. We provide prevention, diagnosis and treatment of all types of breast-related disease. Patient education, cancer screening, genetic risk assessment and risk reduction are key components of our program in addition to oncologic and plastic reconstructive surgery. These services are available in one easy location.
Breast cancer survivors helped design the center so that we would have the highest level of care and sensitivity to our patients' needs. We use advanced treatments and state-of-the-art technology to assure that our patients get the best care.
Patients have access to care coordinators. This extra help is an important part of the support the Breast Center offers its patients.
Patients receive comprehensive care from a team of breast surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, plastic surgeons, radiologists, geneticists, nutritionists, women's health physicians, alternative medicine physicians, nurses, and physical therapists. During a weekly multidisciplinary Case Review meeting, patient cases are discussed from multiple perspectives to assure that patients are provided a wide range of treatment options. This review facilitates ongoing communication among your physicians and specialists to track your progress and success. Our specialists work on clinical trials to develop new treatment options for addressing breast cancer. Many of our patients take part in clinical trials that test new treatment options.
If you have a family history of breast cancer or if you are concerned that your risk of developing breast cancer may be increased, you can participate in the Wasserman Breast Cancer Risk Reduction Program. The program provides comprehensive risk assessment services (including genetic testing) as well as medical and surgical management recommendations that are tailored to a particular individual's level of risk.
