Interdisciplinary Breast Cancer Clinic (IDC)

The MSU Breast Center provides a weekly Breast Cancer 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.
