Breast Cancer
The Memorial Breast Cancer Center brings the strength of one of Florida’s largest breast cancer programs into one location, so that you can see your entire cancer-fighting team in one day.
A Comprehensive Breast Cancer Approach
Memorial Breast Cancer Program offers an interdisciplinary approach, which includes discussions with all of your specialists involved in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer before your treatment begins. We offer FDA-approved clinical trials by an unparalleled team of experts to bring you from diagnosis to treatment and into survivorship. See our breast cancer clinical trials.
We are proud to be recognized as a National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC) Accredited Breast Center, a Quality Program of the American College of Surgeons. This designation means our center has the resources to ensure our patients with breast cancer receive high-quality, coordinated care, as well as supportive services and resources to address the full continuum of care available in our community.

Breast Cancer Treatments
Breast cancer treatment has advanced rapidly in the past 10 years. Today’s breast cancer treatments let you continue your normal daily activities with less interruption for treatments and less discomfort from side effects. Your breast cancer treatment at Memorial’s Breast Cancer Center may include:
- Chemotherapy – Memorial Cancer Institute is on your side with chemotherapy treatment, including access to some of the newest and most innovative chemo treatments through clinical trials
- Biologicals – Newer medications, often combined with chemotherapy, that can sometimes be taken orally and have few side effects
- Surgery – An innovative surgical guidance system, SAVI SCOUT®, helps our surgeons more accurately pinpoint lesions prior to and during surgery. Our expert breast surgical management team includes plastic and reconstructive surgeons
- Radiation – Several effective types, including breast brachytherapy (a type of accelerated partial-breast irradiation (APBI))
Breast Cancer Patient and Family Support
A breast cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming to you and your family. At Memorial Cancer Institute, our commitment to patient- and family-centered care means we take care of all of you, not just your cancer.

I’ve seen so many angels through this journey. I can’t say enough good things about them. If I had to, I’d drive three hours to come to Memorial.
