Managing breast cancer in modern oncology involves a complex, multidisciplinary approach, where each stage of the treatment process is detailed and individually tailored to each patient.

The patient management process is carried out according to the consilium principle, which entails the participation of a team of specialists in determining the diagnostic and therapeutic tactics. The following professionals are involved in the management process:

• Clinical oncologist

• Onco-surgeon

• Radiologist

• Morphologist

• Clinical psychologist

Psychological support is a particularly important component — a breast cancer diagnosis, especially at a young age, may be associated with severe emotional reactions and requires psychosocial intervention.

Modern treatment methods

Based on the obtained diagnostic data, an individual therapeutic tactic is selected, which may involve one or several treatment methods simultaneously:

1. Surgical treatment 2. Chemotherapy 3. Radiotherapy 4. Hormone therapy 5. Targeted therapy
