The Breast Care Center is located on the second floor of the Cancer Center, and provides comprehensive care for patients with benign or malignant breast conditions. Care is provided by Brigham and Women’s Hospital breast surgeons and nurse practitioners from South Shore Hospital.
Our center provides advanced care to patients with breast health concerns. Our mission is to provide timely, supportive, expert care for benign and malignant conditions of the breast. Patients will have access to innovative local, regional and national clinical trials through our center and Dana Farber Cancer Institute.

- Second opinions
- Atypical cells on a previous biopsy (ADH, ALH, LCIS
