The trusted surgeons at ECBC will explore the best options for your situation and perform diagnostic and therapeutic treatment, upon referral. If you’re in need of breast surgery, our caregivers can also refer you to a plastic surgeon for reconstructive surgery. If you meet the criteria and want reconstruction, that can even be done when your mastectomy, the removal of your breast, is performed.

But we don’t stop there. You will also receive a written cancer survivor care plan after chemo, so you can continue to thrive. This holistic, personalized care is just one of the reasons ECBC stands out among other breast cancer treatment centers.
