Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
Combined modality treatment for breast cancer include
1. Enblock resection of tumour with involved axillary lymphnodes
2. Radiotherapy
3. Chemotherapy if ER (estrogen receptor) and PR (progesterone receptor) are positive.
Early stages of breast cancer is having excellent prognosis with almost near normal life if timely administration of all these modalities have been done.
So treatment of breast cancer demand combined modality treatment.
Hope I have solved your query.
