According to the NCCN (National Comprehensive Cancer Network) 2023 Breast Cancer Guidelines, the main treatment options depend on several factors, including:
- Cancer stage
- Hormone receptor status (ER/PR)
- HER2 status
- Overall health
- Personal preferences
The American Cancer Society outlines these primary treatment approaches:
- Local Treatments:
- Surgery (lumpectomy or mastectomy)
- Radiation therapy
- Systemic Treatments:
- Chemotherapy
- Hormone therapy (for hormone receptor-positive cancers)
- Targeted therapies (including HER2-targeted drugs)
- Immunotherapy (for certain types)
ASCO (American Society of Clinical Oncology) 2023 guidelines specifically highlight these recent advances:
- New targeted therapies like Enhertu (FDA-approved for HER2-low breast cancer)
- CDK4/6 inhibitors combined with hormone therapy for advanced hormone-positive cases
- Immunotherapy options for triple-negative breast cancer
Important note: Treatment plans are highly individualized. Your specific treatment options will depend on your unique diagnosis and characteristics of your cancer. Please discuss these options with your healthcare team to determine the best approach for your situation.
