Auerbach Breast Center
Vernon Cancer Center Menu
The Auerbach Breast Center at Newton-Wellesley Hospital is a multi-disciplinary program for patients in the Greater Boston area with breast-related problems, including a new lump, pain, nipple discharge or an abnormal mammogram. Patients are referred to the center when breast-related problems are detected by their physician. Our team works in conjunction with multiple departments at Newton-Wellesley Hospital to provide comprehensive, patient-focused screenings for breast cancer and breast disorders. For breast cancer screenings, the Women’s Imaging Center offers mammograms and breast MRIs at three convenient locations. When screenings reveal breast abnormalities, breast diagnostics are performed here at the Auerbach Breast Center. Phone: 617-243-5540 | Fax: 617-243-5249
According to a 2015 Journal of the American College of Surgeons study, most women with early-stage breast cancer are now avoiding extensive lymph node removal. It also points out that more surgeons are following scientic evidence that says radical operations may no longer be necessary for these patients.
Over the last decade, breast reconstruction options offered have improved dramatically in the United States. Research and innovative new techniques have made breast reconstruction safer and less painful. Newton-Wellesley Hospital has been a leader in using many of these new technologies. We can now customize many of our treatments for each patient.
A diagnosis of breast cancer can be an overwhelming experience. At the Auerbach Breast Center, we offer compassionate, patient-centered breast cancer treatment.
Patients come to us from throughout Greater Boston thanks in part to the reputation of our breast cancer specialists and surgeons. Every new patient meets with members of our multi-disciplinary team - breast cancer surgeons, breast oncologists, breast radiation oncologists and nurses - to discuss treatment options. We create an individualized breast cancer treatment program for each patient. When possible, we book appointments with the multi-disciplinary team members on the same day. The team works together to design the best treatment plan for the patient.
Newton-Wellesley has pioneered the use of specially designed computer software that can analyze family health history to identify potentially high cancer risk. Breast Center and Women’s Imaging Center patients who may be at increased risk for breast and ovarian cancer are informed and offered a consultation to discuss next step options.
The Auerbach Breast Center is an NAPBC accredited breast center. This accreditation means our Center has met the criteria set forth and incorporated into this program by each discipline treating patients with diseases of the breast.
When a diagnosis of breast cancer is made, patients meet with a multi-disciplinary team of breast cancer specialists – breast surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists and nurses – to discuss treatment options. We then create an individualized treatment program for each patient. Plastic surgeons, physical therapists and social workers are also available to our patients for referral on an individual basis.
