Treatment to Meet Your Needs
We Know Breast Cancer is a Serious Matter
Approximately one in eight women in the United States will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime. If detected early, nearly all breast cancers can successfully be treated. In fact, when it is detected in the earliest stages, the cure rate for breast cancer is a staggering 97%.
The tailored care and treatment offered by SSM Health is designed to meet your needs on multiple levels. In addition to various surgical procedures, we offer multiple types of therapies, including radiation, chemotherapy and more.
To serve you better, please set your location for information on services available in your area.
