At Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University’s Glenn Family Breast Center, we offer support throughout every part of your breast cancer experience. Our clinicians and researchers are international leaders in breast cancer treatment and research.
Breast cancer is highly treatable. In fact, the average five-year survival rate for all stages of breast cancer is 90% — one of the highest of all cancer types.
Still, at Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University, we understand how a breast cancer diagnosis affects your life and your loved ones. That’s why we do everything in our power to ensure your diagnosis impacts your life as little as possible. Our top-ranked specialists offer exceptional care and the kind of support you need at every stage of your experience with breast cancer, all in one place.
Emory plastic surgeons pioneered immediate breast reconstruction, which is performed at the same time as mastectomy. That means you won’t need to wait to start feeling like yourself again or undergo separate surgeries.
While we have higher breast cancer survival rates compared with non-NCI-designated centers, there’s more to outcomes than that. We also focus on lowering recurrence rates and minimizing side effects — so you can continue to live your life.
No one is prepared to hear their doctor say they have breast cancer. We want you to know that the Glenn Family Breast Center team is here for you and your family to lean on every step of the way. Our dedicated breast cancer nutritionists, social workers, counselors, rehabilitation therapists and more do everything in their power to help you throughout your cancer journey.
When I got diagnosed, I knew that I wanted to go see the best possible doctors. As soon as I met with Dr. Meisel at Winship, I knew that I was in the best possible hands.
