Breast cancer treatment

The main treatments for breast cancer are:

  • surgery
  • radiotherapy
  • chemotherapy
  • hormone therapy
  • biological therapy (targeted therapy)

You may have one of these treatments, or a combination. The type or combination of treatments you have will depend on how the cancer was diagnosed and the stage it’s at.

Breast cancer diagnosed at screening may be at an early stage, but breast cancer diagnosed when you have symptoms may be at a later stage and require a different treatment.

Your healthcare team will discuss with you which treatments are most suitable.

Choosing the right treatment for you
When deciding what treatment is best for you, your doctors will consider:

  • the stage and grade of your cancer (how big it is and how far it’s spread)
  • your general health
  • whether you have experienced the menopause
  • you should be able to discuss your treatment with your care team at any time and ask questions.

Treatment overview
Surgery is usually the first type of treatment for breast cancer. The type of surgery you undergo will depend on the type of breast cancer you have.

Surgery is usually followed by chemotherapy or radiotherapy or, in some cases, hormone or biological treatments.

Again, the treatment you’ll have will depend on the type of breast cancer.

Your doctor will discuss the most suitable treatment plan with you. Chemotherapy or hormone therapy will sometimes be the first treatment.

Secondary breast cancer
Most breast cancers are discovered in the condition’s early stages. But a small proportion of women discover that they have breast cancer after it’s spread to other parts of the body (metastasis).

If this is the case, the type of treatment you have may be different. Secondary cancer, also called “advanced” or “metastatic” cancer, isn’t curable.

Treatment aims to achieve remission, where the cancer shrinks or disappears, and you feel normal and able to enjoy life to the full.
