Can anyone help with a specialist regarding breast cancer in Louisiana? I'm looking for a referral for a breast cancer specialist is in and around New Orleans or Baton Rouge area. I found a lump in my breast and I went to the doctor and not very confident in their findings of altrosound. My sister asked me to post.
Louisiana Cancer Research Consortium is probably your best choice. You can be seen either at LSU or Tulane. I linked their page with the two contacts you can choose the closest to your location.
Both are excellent medical facilities, and you have the advantage of not only having a great doctor, but also have many other brilliant minds reviewing your case. Where it may be necessary, a school also has access to the latest research and clinical trial information and availability.
Best wishes to you.
Im not sure if this doctor does breast cancer, but it is an oncologist and is or was the head of the Pennington Cancer Center at Baton Rouge General. His name is Castine. He treated my best friends father for esophageal cancer that spread to the liver.
