https://learnlooklocate.com/lymph-node-surgery-in-breast-cancer/ Breast cancer treatment usually involves two strategies: local treatment and systemic treatment. In this Learn Look Locate breast cancer education video, Lauren Kopicky, DO explains how surgery and radiation treat the breast and nearby lymph nodes to prevent local recurrence. Systemic therapies such as chemotherapy or hormone therapy work throughout the body to eliminate potential cancer cells that may have escaped the tumor. These combined strategies help reduce the risk of both local and distant recurrence. Understanding how these treatments work together can help patients better understand why multiple therapies may be recommended as part of a comprehensive breast cancer treatment plan.

About Learn Look Locate:
We advocate the importance of self-breast exams, what to look for when performing a self-exam, and when to see a doctor. We provide resources for women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer, as well as for their families and friends.
The five-year survival rate for women who catch their cancer early is nearly 100%. Here’s an important statistic. Many women do not perform self-breast exams or see a doctor for regular screenings. Learn Look Locate LLC wants to highlight the work of organizations around the world that are working to promote early detection of breast cancer. We will feature stories of women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer and share their journeys.
There are several ways to diagnose breast cancer, including mammograms, biopsies, and ultrasounds. Once breast cancer is diagnosed, there are a few treatment options available, including surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. The best way to treat breast cancer is to catch it early and to get the best treatment possible.
There is a strong community of women who have been affected by breast cancer. In addition, there are a number of organizations and resources available to help women find the support they need.
