Diagnosed early, breast cancer is very treatable, says SIU Medicine general surgeon Dr. Melanie Barnard. "I like to tell my patients breast cancer treatment is a team sport; I'm only part of it. I work with medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists -- we all work together to care for our patients," Barnard explains. At Simmons Cancer Institute, the team of experts meets weekly to discuss patients' cases and determine the best possible treatment for each individual.
