Breast Cancer

The cancer experts at the Wake Forest Breast Care Clinic see more than 100 breast patients every week and evaluate more than 200 new cases of breast cancer each year. The multimodality clinic became fully functional at the turn of the century and was among the first in the region to be accredited by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC).
