718.246.8500

At NYM, we offer women a variety of treatment options for breast disease by combining the specialists and services of the Institute for Cancer Care and the Institute for Women's Health. Our experienced specialists have a commitment to women's health and apply a multidisciplinary approach to breast care.

Our specialists include a breast surgeon, plastic and reconstructive surgeons, dedicated breast imagers, medical oncologists, pathologists, radiation oncologists, gynecologists, geneticists, psychiatrists, physical therapists and nutritionists, as well as physician assistants and specialized nurses.

When breast disease strikes, NYM specialists focus on treating just the cancer through breast conservation techniques. Breast conservation is an operation to remove the breast cancer but not the breast itself. Types of breast-conserving surgery include lumpectomy (removal of the lump), quadrantectomy (removal of one quarter, or quadrant, of the breast), and segmental mastectomy (removal of the cancer as well as some of the breast tissue around the tumor and the lining over the chest muscles below the tumor). Breast conservation is also called breast-sparing surgery.

As importantly, our radiation oncologists have advanced technology that focuses on attacking the cancer only sparing the healthy tissue surrounding it.

Whether you come to NYM breast specialists for a diagnosis, a second opinion, or treatment for breast cancer, you benefit from the most technologically advanced services available, state-of-the-art equipment, and individualized management by clinical experts for the highest quality of care.
