M$1 Answer
A breast cancer patient will see a team of specialized doctors. Depending on the patients needs, they may not need all of the doctors listed.
Surgeon
A person with breast cancer will always need the treatment of a surgeon. The possible types of surgery include biopsy, lymph node removal, lumpectomy and mastectomy.
Pathologist
A pathologist is someone that specializes in detecting cancer cells. Once a biopsy is performed, a pathologist will examine the cells to determine if cancer is found.
Medical Oncologist
A Medical Oncologist is a doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating cancer using chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, biological therapy, and targeted therapy.
Radiation Oncologist
Breast cancer patients will usually have to have radiation to the breast. Radiation is recommended if the patient has had a lumpectomy or if cancer has been detected in the lymph nodes.
