BOBÌåÓý

The BOBÌåÓý Breast Center’s comprehensive medical team provides compassionate care and personalized treatment options for you and your family.

We bring together clinicians and researchers dedicated to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of breast diseases. Our mutli-disciplinary team features BOBÌåÓý breast surgeons, plastic and reconstructive surgeons, medical oncologists and radiation oncologists working together to streamline care for women diagnosed with breast cancer as well as women at high risk for breast cancer.

Mammogram appointments

Women should talk to their primary care doctor starting at age 40 (possibly sooner if there’s a family history of breast cancer) about how often to get a mammogram and when to start. Appointments are available at BOBÌåÓý Women’s and Diagnostic Imaging â€� Springhill.

Watch patient Debbie Paine's story

Debbie Paine was diagnosed with breast cancer after results of her mammogram came back abnormal. When she turned to BOBÌåÓý for treatment options, Debbie found a team of medical professionals ready to embark with her on her journey to beat cancer. Her multidisciplinary breast cancer team was composed of surgical oncologists, radiation oncologists and medical oncologists working together to devise a treatment course tailored to her specific breast cancer care needs.

For Debbie, her care involved surgery and targeted therapy with radiation to eliminate cancer cells. Some patients may only require surgery; while others may need to leverage chemotherapy or other common breast cancer treatment options.

Like all UF Heath breast cancer patients, Debbie was given access to a nurse navigator, who helped guide her through any issues that she encountered. In addition to delivering case management services, nurse navigators also provide support, both clinical and emotional, for the duration of a patient’s treatment course.

Our multidisciplinary approach

Optimal management of breast cancer may involve a combination of surgery and radiation and/or medical therapies. Together, these treatments provide patients with the greatest chance of cure and the lowest chance of cancer recurrence.

Combining different types of treatment - known as multidisciplinary care - is at the core of the breast center team’s approach to treating breast cancer. New patients are reviewed during the center’s weekly Breast Cancer Tumor Board, where UF surgical oncologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, plastic surgeons, radiologists, pathologists, rehabilitation specialists and social workers collaborate to design comprehensive and personalized treatment plans for every patient.

To ensure a seamless transition from your referring physician, a dedicated nurse navigator will coordinate all aspects of your care, from the initial visit and evaluation through treatment and recovery, including follow-up consultations.
