Breast Cancer Diagnosis at St. Anthony’s

At St. Anthony’s, our cancer specialists approach breast cancer diagnosis with careful precision. You will undergo imaging studies and meet with our breast surgeon, Sarah Snell, MD, who will talk to you about possible options and what will happen if the lump is malignant.

Depending on the size and position of the lump, you will have a breast biopsy, or Dr. Snell will recommend surgery. If the lump is cancerous, you will have many options for treatment including chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
