Breast cancer touches almost everyone at some time, either through a friend or family member or through a personal diagnosis. It comes as no surprise that breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in women and the second-leading cause of cancer-related deaths (behind lung cancer). This year, more than 200,000 women and 1,300 men in the United States will discover they have breast cancer. Through the course of a lifetime, more than 13 percent of all women in the United States will hear the same news.

At Sutter Cancer Centers, we don't believe anyone should face breast cancer alone or without access to exceptional care of the body, mind and spirit. Through extensive and comprehensive programs, including educational classes and support groups we offer complete care from initial diagnosis through long-term follow-up and support. Sutter Cancer Centers are also active participants in clinical trials to help patients explore the latest developments in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment.

In Sacramento, multiple services are provided through the Breast Cancer Program. For in-depth information about all aspects of breast cancer, visit the breast cancer section of our Health Information Library.
