Be Informed

Being educated is your first line of defense when it comes to your own breast health. Regular self exams and mammograms for women over the age of 40 can help detect and identify breast cancer in its earliest stages, giving you more options for treatment and a better chance for a successful and smooth recovery.

At Breast Cancer Surgeons of Texas, we are committed to educating and empowering our patients to be advocates of their own breast health. In this section you will find information about breast cancer and other breast concerns, as well as a comprehensive list of resources and support organizations that are available online.

Types of Breast Cancer

There are several types of breast cancer:

Noninvasive breast cancer – Cancerous cells are located in a specific area of the breast, and have not yet spread to surrounding tissue, lobules or ducts.
Invasive breast cancer – Cancerous cells have broken through normal breast tissue and have spread to other parts of the body through the bloodstream and lymph nodes.
Ductal Carcinoma – Cancer begins in the milk ducts. This is the most common type of breast cancer.
Lobular Carcinoma – Cancer which begins in the lobules.
Inflammatory Breast Cancer – Cancer begins in the soft tissue of the breast and causes the lymph vessels in the skin of the breast to become blocked.
Metastatic Breast Cancer – Metastatic cancer indicates the cancer cells have spread to other parts of the body.
Papillary Carcinoma – Cancer cells are arranged in finger like projections.
Triple-negative Breast Cancer – Cancer cells do not contain receptors for estrogen, progesterone, or HER2.

"Recently had a surgery done by her. And in all honesty she is amazing! She made me feel at ease! It has been my first surgery ever and it went smoothly! Also in in my 20s and she made it easy for me to connect with her, her personality was sweet and positive! Which is huge when you are going into breast surgery. Highly recommend her!"

"I went into Dr. Terre Quinn's office tired, sick, and worn down I knew that I was sent there and that I was not at that step yet to need her services. But she took me in and talk to me with such kindness, and she examined me anyway and directed me to the right step and the right people. She taught me something yesterday. I had therapy yesterday (I wish she had a couch 🙂 ) I pray that I don't have to have surgery but if I do and I get to see her again it will be a blessing as she truly blessed my heart yesterday. Love, love loved her. If you ever have to receive the service she provides I recommend her she is so patient, caring and kind."
