Caring for you every step of the way
Our Approach to Breast Cancer
If you or a loved one has recently discovered a lump in the breast, had a suspicious mammogram or been diagnosed with breast cancer, Baptist MD Anderson Cancer Center in Jacksonville is here to offer hope, compassion and care.
Our team of breast cancer experts use the latest technology to precisely diagnose and treat the type and stage of your breast cancer. We offer the most aggressive treatments available, including genetic testing, breast cancer clinical trials and highly-targeted radiation therapy.
As a patient, you’ll receive care based on the same protocols and practice standards provided at MD Anderson Cancer Center. Through our partnership, patients also benefit from integration with MD Anderson clinicians and researchers.
