Breast Cancer Treatment
Sheba Medical Center Israel Breast Cancer Treatment
Breast cancer is the most frequently occurring cancer among women in the United States. As with many types of cancer, early detection of breast cancer is crucial to a favorable treatment outcome. That is one reason why we at Sheba Medical Cancer Center use state of the art imaging and other diagnostic techniques to find and classify breast cancer before it can spread. We make the latest in mammography tools available to our patients as part of our breast cancer treatments.
The most common type of breast cancer is ductal carcinoma, which begins in the milk ducts. Lobular carcinomas, which start in the gland tissue, are the second most frequently seen. Although many breast cancers are first discovered as a lump in the breast, not all breast lumps are cancerous. Both frequent self-examination and regular mammograms are vital to the early discovery of breast lumps.
At Sheba Medical Cancer Center, we understand that a diagnosis of breast cancer can be devastating for both our patients and their families. We are dedicated to comprehensive, holistic care for our patients and their families so that they have the support they need during this difficult time. Our multidisciplinary team provides excellent physical, social, and psychological care in our quest to give world class medicine with a personal touch.

Breast Cancer Risk Factors
There are many factors that can affect the chances of developing breast cancer, including having children and early puberty or late menopause. Some of these risks include:
Female Gender
Although men can certainly develop breast cancer, the vast majority of breast cancer cases are seen in women.
Personal Breast Cancer History
Women who have previously had breast cancer have a larger risk of developing cancer again in the same breast.
Age
Breast cancer can affect women of any age, but is much more frequently seen in women over age 55.
Breast Condition
Individuals with dense breast tissue or certain conditions, like fibrocystic breasts, are more prone to breast cancer.
