KYW’s Rasa Kaye talks with Dr. Catherine Plzak medical director of the Breast Center at St. Mary Medical Center, about their team approach to breast cancer treatment.
Breast cancer is a complex disease that is not the same in every woman.
Treating it -- even eradicating it -- can be a prolonged battle that requires a skilled and varied arsenal of medical weapons.
At the Breast Center and Regional Cancer Center at St. Mary Medical Center in Langhorne, Pa., doctors, nurses and support staff work together to design an integrated treatment plan for each patient that encompasses not only the patient’s medical needs, but emotional, psychological and spiritual needs as well.
The Regional Cancer Center at St. Mary has been designated a Community Hospital Comprehensive Cancer Program by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer, an approval earned by only 25% of cancer programs throughout the United States, and which recognizes St. Mary for having established performance measures for high-quality cancer care.
