Minimally Invasive Biopsy techniques

Breast Conservation Surgery, including lumpectomy
Oncoplastic Surgery – Allows larger tumors to be removed through lumpectomy while preserving the shape of the breast
Nipple-sparing and Skin-sparing Mastectomy – Involves removing the breast tissue while leaving the skin and nipple intact
Reverse Lymphatic Mapping – Allows the surgeon to avoid removing lymph nodes that drain into the arm, thereby reducing lymphedema risk
Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy – Involves the removal of select lymph nodes that drain the breast to assess for cancer spread

Chemotherapy prescribed by board-certified, breast cancer-specialized medical oncologists and administered by oncology certified nurses in a state-of-the-art infusion center
Endocrine therapy, sometimes used with other targeted non-chemotherapy drugs, to treat estrogen-positive cancers
Targeted therapy for HER2 positive breast cancer, including anticancer drugs given by IV or mouth in combination with chemotherapy or endocrine therapy
Genomic testing of tumor tissue and blood samples to reveal the treatment thought to best target the cancer

Partial Breast Radiation with SAVI (Strut Assisted Volume Implant) – Targets only the area where the tumor was removed and involves 10 treatments over just one week. For some patients, it can be an alternative to a lengthier treatment course of external radiation to the whole breast.
Align RT/Vision RT
Proton Therapy
Thermal Therapy (Hyperthermia)

DIEP Flap (Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator Flap) Surgery – Offered mainly in high volume academic medical centers like the University of Maryland Medical Center, DIEP flap surgery uses tissues from a woman's own body to create a breast
Latissimus Dorsi Flap – Uses muscle and skin from the upper back
Implant-based Reconstruction – Uses a silicone or saline implant or a temporary tissue expander to reconstruct a breast mound
