Plano, TX – April 17, 2019 – Breast cancer is one of the most terrifying terms a woman can hear. Dr. Terre McGlothin, owner of Breast Cancer Surgeons of Texas, understands that her patients want answers and they want them quickly. The practice provides screenings, testing, in-office procedures and hospital surgery for a wide range of conditions.

“Dr. Terre McGlothin is a wonderful doctor and those 5-star patient reviews on Google show it,” said SCULPT, marketing representative for Breast Cancer Surgeons of Texas.

Breast cancer isn’t a one-size-fits-all disease. There are multiple types of breast cancer that can affect a specific area and those that spread to other areas within the body. The disease can originate in milk ducts, lobules, lymph nodes, and soft breast tissue and a variety of treatment options are available that includes highly-specialized surgical techniques. Dallas breast cancer surgery can take multiple forms depending on the extent of the disease.

A lumpectomy is performed to remove a lump and surrounding tissues. A mastectomy removes all of the breast tissue that may or may not include removal of the lymph nodes. A nipple sparing mastectomy removes all of the breast tissue without removing any of the skin, nipple or areola. Dallas breast cancer treatment can be combined with chemotherapy, radiation treatments, or hyperthermia therapy. Hormonal, holistic and target-specific therapies are also available.

Some forms have little or no obvious symptoms, while others may manifest as a lump, skin change or swelling. Small lumps may not be detectable during routine self-examination and will only be found during a mammogram. The Dallas breast cancer doctor provides consultations, clinical exams, diagnosis and surgical interventions, along with an elevated level of follow-up care for her patients that has earned McGlothin numerous 5-star patient ratings.
