Overview
Patients with Paget's disease of the breast have many treatment options. The selection depends on the stage of the tumor. The options are surgery, radiation therapy, or a combination of these methods. Before treatment starts, ask your health care team about possible side effects and how treatment may change your normal activities. Because cancer treatments often damage healthy cells and tissues, side effects are common. Side effects may not be the same for each person, and they may change from one treatment session to the next.
Surgery
Treatment usually involves some kind of mastectomy to surgically remove the tumour. Chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy may be necessary. Surgery: The goal of surgery is to remove the tumor and some surrounding tissue to make sure that the entire tumor is removed. The indication of surgery depends on the stage of the cancer and the patient's general health.
