The Breast Care Clinic, located in The UT Southwestern Center for Breast
Care, provides state of the art services for the diagnosis and treatment
of breast cancer and breast related disorders.  The Center integrates
radiology services and surgical, medical oncology and radiation oncology
consultative services in one facility.  The Center offers its patients the
opportunity to participate in exciting clinical trials for diagnosis, prevention
and treatment of breast cancer.  The Center offers women access to the
newest techniques in breast cancer surgery, including sentinel node
biopsy as an alternative to axillary dissection.  The Center was an active
participant in the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project
(NSABP) Breast Cancer Prevention Trial which found that tamoxifen reduced
the risk of developing breast cancer by 45%.  The center is also a research
site for the second generation breast cancer prevention trial, the STAR trial.   
The Mary L. Brown Breast Cancer Genetics and Risk Assessment Program
utilizes a computer generated program which calculates the risk of a patient
developing breast cancer based upon an individual’s genetic profile
and other risk factors.  This allows patients to make decisions regarding
appropriate prevention strategies that are available.   The Lymphedema
Program offers an innovative comprehensive clinic for the prevention and
treatment of lymphedema after breast cancer surgery and surgery for
other cancers.
