Multidisciplinary Management of Breast Cancer and Role of the Patient Navigator

Andrew Fenton et al. Obstet Gynecol Clin North Am. 2022 Mar.

Abstract

Modern breast cancer treatment is multidisciplinary. Comprehensive breast centers are uniquely positioned to treat patients in a multidisciplinary fashion, providing timely diagnoses, state-of-the-art treatment options, and survivorship care. Important ancillary services can improve patients' emotional, financial, physical, and sexual distress. Patient navigators are the link between these provided services and the patient.

Keywords: Breast center; Fertility; Multidisciplinary; Navigators; Survivorship.
