Mass General/North Shore Cancer Center
At NSMC Women's Health, we believe that education and regular screening are some of the most effective things you can do to prevent cancer. Pap smears, breast exams, mammograms, and colonoscopies are among the exams recommended for women. We also have a Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Clinic.
OB-GYNs are sometimes able to provide initial treatment for cancer right in the office, or you may be referred to the Mass General/North Shore Cancer Center.
The Cancer Center takes a multidisciplinary approach to cancer care, which means that you are evaluated by a team of experts. These might include a pathologist, radiologist, surgeon, medical oncologist, radiation oncologist and a nutritionist. Bringing together multiple experts on your behalf ensures that all aspects of your case will be addressed and that you benefit from the combined wisdom and experience of our experts.
Should surgery become necessary for certain conditions, we have breast surgeons and gynecological oncologists who can treat you.
