Breast Oncology Surgery

If you’ve been diagnosed with breast cancer, you can receive care at a location convenient for you at UT Southwestern Frisco.

Meeting with your surgical oncologist for pre- and postoperative appointments at UT Southwestern Frisco can mean less travel time for you and your loved ones.

You’ll receive care from UT Southwestern Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center’s experienced surgical oncologists.

Surgery for breast cancer is offered at UT Southwestern’s Clements University Hospital or at UT Southwestern’s partner site, Texas Health Frisco, located next to UT Southwestern Frisco (mastectomies only at Texas Health Frisco).

If you need to see a medical oncologist or receive chemotherapy, you can visit our Richardson/Plano location.

Our Services

The first treatment for breast cancer is often surgery. Breast cancer surgery involves removing the tumor and the surrounding tissue that might be cancerous.

We offer every surgical option for women with breast cancer, performed by expert and compassionate surgical oncologists who specialize in breast cancer surgery.

We work with our patients to select the surgery that is right for them, considering each patient’s special needs and concerns.

Our surgical oncologists also work closely with plastic surgeons to help patients make the best decision for reconstruction after breast cancer.
