The primary treatment of breast cancer is surgery. Surgery is often followed by adjuvant chemotherapy, radiotherapy and hormone therapy based on risk factors present. Before surgery staging work up should be done to guide therapy and also to determine prognosis.

Treatment depends on the stage of her cancer. If early, she will benefit from surgery followed by chemotherapy. If locally advanced she may rather need chemotherapy first. Please consult for further advise.
