With advances in research, there are many treatment options for breast cancer can choose those that offer depends on certain factors. Scientists have recently claimed to have discovered a new path to a potential cancer cure. Currently, there is a combination of treatments available. The main treatments are surgery, hormone therapy, biological (Herceptin), radiotherapy and chemotherapy. It can be given alone or in combination, depending on several factors such as:
type of breast cancer is present
whether menopause has occurred or not
Tumor size
grade of cancer cells
stage cancer
stage cancer...
the general health of the patient
All of these factors will be taken into account byphysician .

...Cancers are a given stage and grade in order to categorize physicians and evaluation of the tumor and decide the appropriate treatment given. Breast cancer stage consider whether the cancer has spread and how it has grown. grade means the cancer cells appear when viewed through a microscope. There are three classes, namely, low (grade 1 slow growing), intermediate grade (grade 2) and high grade (grade 3), which is rapidly growing tumor. These have a higher risk of a return after the initial treatment and surgery, if an excise the tumor, chemotherapy is likely to be managed in order to destroy any remaining cancer cells and therefore reduce the risk of return. grades and stages of breast cancer provides a general rule of thumb as it is impossible to generalize about how a tumor will behave.

...There are many factors to consider when choosing a treatment and are often talking about how the patient feels about their options when selecting an appropriate treatment is offered. There are no correct or incorrect answers to this decision and every woman feels differently. It can feel overwhelming to the whole breast removed, so that, if possible, lumpectomy with radiotherapy is preferable for some women. Some feel they do not want radiation therapy, but others will choose this option if it leads to retention of their breasts.
