What Is Breast Cancer?
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting both women and men. It occurs when abnormal cells grow in the breast tissue, sometimes spreading to nearby lymph nodes or other parts of the body. At Premier Cancer Center in Clearwater, FL, Dr. Taghrid Altoos and Dr. Eric Brooks take a personal approach to breast cancer education and care. Additionally, they are active breast cancer researchers and members of the ReCOG international committee, which is dedicated to advancing collaborative studies in breast cancer care. Our team helps patients understand their diagnosis, treatment options, and what to expect at every stage. We proudly bring academic-level breast cancer treatment to Clearwater, FL, combining professional expertise with a caring, supportive environment.
How Is Breast Cancer Treated?
Breast cancer treatment often involves a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. At Premier Cancer Center, we specialize in radiation therapy for breast cancer using TrueBeam™ radiation technology. TrueBeam delivers precise radiation to target cancer cells while protecting healthy tissue, helping reduce side effects and treatment times. Our board-certified radiation oncologists are actively involved in ongoing medical education and national conferences, keeping our team at the forefront of cancer care. Patients can trust they are receiving the latest treatment innovations in a comfortable, local setting.
What Are the Symptoms of Breast Cancer?
Breast cancer symptoms are not always obvious, which is why regular screenings and self-checks are so important. Common signs include:
- A lump or thickening in the breast or underarm area
- Changes in breast shape, size, or appearance
- Skin dimpling or redness on the breast
- Nipple discharge or inversion
- Persistent breast pain or discomfort
If you notice any of these changes, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with our experienced team.
