Targeted drug therapy with dose adjustment
Active treatment with regular monitoring by a healthcare provider is recommended.

Surgical removal of cancerous tissue; lumpectomy combined with radiation achieves equivalent survival to mastectomy for early-stage disease. Choice depends on tumor size, location, and patient preference.
Additional treatment options
Radiation Therapy
Targeted radiation to destroy remaining cancer cells after lumpectomy or to treat chest wall after mastectomy. Typically requires daily treatments over several weeks.
