In Iowa, breast cancer is the number one diagnosed cancer in women. At Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center, we use a team approach to treat breast cancer.
By bringing together a team of specialist we are able to offer the most advanced options for screening,
diagnosing, and
treating breast cancer
Utilizing cutting edge treatments, like MammoSite radiation therapy, and participating in national prevention and early detection trials, such as
the Study of Tamoxifen and Raloxifene (STAR) and the digital mammography imaging study (DMIST), Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center is actively searching for
ways to prevent breast cancer, detect it in its earliest stages, and eventually find a cure.
Breast cancer is not limited to women. For every 100 women diagnosed with breast cancer, one man is diagnosed.
Male breast cancer is one of the rarest malignancies, contributing to the low level of public awareness.
