The Breast Cancer Clinic at the Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute offers comprehensive evaluation of breast pain, breast lumps, and abnormal mammograms. Our compassionate team of nurses and physicians will listen to your concerns, evaluate your findings, and make competent recommendations--all in a short period of time. New patients are generally seen within 2-3 days, and a breast biopsy can be done the same day and preliminary results given the same day. Surgery is no longer needed to biopsy your breasts. A biopsy is now done in the office through a 1cm (size of your fingernail) incision in your breast. You do not need to go to surgery or be put to sleep.

We also offer a second opinion clinic. Your personal physician takes good care of you and may even have referred you to a specialist in your area. However, we are available for second opinions to confirm the recommendations of your local physicians or give you alternatives form the team at the forefront of breast cancer research and treatment.

If you do receive a diagnosis of breast cancer, evaluations and surgical procedures are carefully coordinated with medical and radiation oncologists throughout the state to provide total cancer care. We offer complete tumor care and advanced surgical techniques for breast cancer treatment. We are the cutting edge of total breast cancer treatment. We perform minimally invasive breast lump and breast cancer removal; sentinel lymph node biopsy; Mommosite placement for local (brachytherapy) radiation therapy; and innovative techniques for mastectomy and breast reconstruction. Additionally, interested patients are enrolled in clinical research studies where appropriate.
