Research Interest
Dr. Helsten provides state-of-the-art endocrine (hormonal) therapy, chemotherapy and targeted therapies. These therapies are used to reduce the risk of cancer spreading or coming back for patients with cancer confined to the breast and lymph nodes; and to improve quality of life for patients whose cancers have already spread to other parts of their bodies (metastasized).
