The MSU Breast Center provides a weekly Multidisciplinary Breast Cancer Clinic (IDC) for women with breast cancer (newly diagnosed or recurrent). A breast cancer diagnosis often brings many fears, questions, and misconceptions.
There are different types of breast cancer that present at different stages with many treatment options available.
The goal of the Interdisciplinary Breast Cancer Clinic (IDC) is to provide women with up-to-date information that will enable them to make informed decisions regarding their treatment.
The IDC offers a team approach to help women and their families learn about breast cancer and treatment options. An education session is provided by the nurse coordinator, followed by individual assessments from a breast surgeon, radiation oncologist, medical oncologist, and medical social
worker.
Joining the providers during the team discussion is a pathologist and radiologist who review all the available information. The IDC team of breast cancer specialists provides individualized recommendations for treatment. A written plan is provided to the woman and her family.
To learn more about this clinic, please contact the MSU Breast Center's Nurse Navigator, Pam Haan, RN, BSN.
We work closely with our partners from MSU Health Care Surgery in the Division of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery in the Department of Surgery at Michigan State University.
We are proud to have Dr. Andrew Zwyghuizen, MD, plastic and reconstructive surgeon, and physician assistants: Miranda Cristales, PA-C and Ashley Day, PA-C, as part of a team that provides a multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of breast cancer.
