Ana Sandoval Leon, M.D., is a medical oncologist specializing in the treatment of breast cancer. She cares for patients diagnosed with all types and stages of breast cancer, including non-invasive and invasive, recurrent and advanced breast cancers. She has expertise in the most advanced systemic therapies, such as chemotherapy, hormone therapy and targeted therapy.
When she was diagnosed with breast cancer, Yvette Nelson relied on her deep faith and the experts at Miami Cancer Institute. “I’m truly grateful to God for placing the right people in my life,” she says.
By definition, a stage 4 breast cancer cannot be cured. But there are many patients – specifically those with HER2-positive breast cancers and sometimes other subtypes of breast cancers – who can live for many years without any evidence of disease.
