How breast cancer care evolves at Ohio State | OSUCCC – James

World-class breast cancer care continues to improve and expand at The Ohio State University, where patients, doctors, nurses and researchers come together at a hub of excellence and innovation. “We are constantly evolving,” says Roman Skoracki, MD, medical director of the Stefanie Spielman Comprehensive Breast Center (SSCBC), the largest free-standing comprehensive breast cancer center in the Midwest. “There are so many exciting things going on here.” At the SSCBC, Skoracki, who also leads the James Division of Oncologic Plastic Surgery, heads up a multidisciplinary team of experts focused on the treatment — and ultimately, the cure — of breast cancer. Since its 2011 dedication, the SSCBC has been a center of innovation across the spectrum of breast cancer care, including advancements in screening technology, mammography access, survivorship services and special programs dedicated to high-risk patients and those with inflammatory disease. Screening disparities: “We identified the hurdles some women have to overcome in order to be screened,” Skoracki says. “They can be socio-economic, language barriers or transportation issues, among others. We want to reach out to these communities.” High-risk Breast Cancer Program: “We identify women who are at higher risk, and then we can offer genetic testing for them and for their family members as well,” Skoracki says. “This helps us find them before they develop breast cancer.” Among those treated in the high-risk program are women with the BRCA genetic mutation, who have a high likelihood of developing breast cancer. Inflammatory Breast Cancer Program: Inflammatory breast cancer is an aggressive form of the disease and can be difficult to diagnose. “It presents differently, usually with a swollen, red breast and symptoms that mimic an infection,” Skoracki says. “We created an entire infrastructure and team for this, and we can identify it quickly and begin treatment in a matter of days.” Mammogram tech: Breast cancer screening technology continues to evolve at the SSCBC. “Our imaging folks are dedicated, 100 percent of their time, to breast imaging,” Skoracki says, adding that new artificial intelligence programs “help to augment this expertise even further, and can make reading scans faster and more accurate.” Survivorship program: Breast cancer care requires a comprehensive approach that continues outside clinical settings, so the SSCBC team continues to expand survivorship programs for patients and their families. “We have patients with metastatic breast cancer who live for decades, and the survivorship program helps them have a high quality of life for many years,” Skoracki says. “The program is also for patients who no longer have any evidence of their disease. They have this journey behind them and are trying to regain a sense of normalcy.” Under Skoracki’s leadership, the Spielman will continue to evolve. “We have an emotional attachment with our patients, and we want to continue to push the envelope and give our patients the very best.” Click here for more information about the Stefanie Spielman Comphrensive Breast Center, including services, contact info and hours of operation: https://go.osu.edu/CeVG Click here to learn more about breast cancer, including risks, symptoms and treatment options at The Ohio State University: https://go.osu.edu/CeVJ Learn more about cancer care and research at The Ohio State University: Home: https://cancer.osu.edu Blog: https://cancer.osu.edu/blog News: https://cancer.osu.edu/news Follow The James on social media: Facebook:   / osucccjames   Twitter:   / osuccc_james   Instagram:   / osuccc_james   #BreastCancer #mammography #BreastCancerTreatments
