A first-of-its-kind study suggests that slow-growing breast cancers can be treated with a highly targeted tumor-freezing technique, eliminating the need for invasive surgery.
Testing to date suggests that the technique is effective among women over 60 diagnosed with relatively low-risk breast cancer.

Often, my patients have dealt with weight bias and are told that their weight gain is due to poor eating habits and lack of exercise and willpower.
However, weight issues are much more complicated than that: There are biological changes in our brain and body that will fight us to keep the weight off despite adopting the best diet and exercise programs.
Our team at the Beebe Center for Weight Loss Surgery offers a holistic approach to help people improve their health and achieve sustainable weight loss through safe and effective weight loss surgery. We strongly believe in providing a good support system to patients throughout their journey with different activities, including online and in-person support groups.
