Research Opportunity

As part of my commitment to bring the most up to date care, I have begun to offer research opportunities for our patients. Today’s medical research is different. No one is “experimenting on you.” If it is a new drug trial, one gets the established drug and possibly a new, better drug. These drugs have already been tested on many people and are safe. If it is a surgical trial, the cancer is treated aggressively as usual but a less invasive procedure is used. We also have trials looking at anxiety and stress to survivorship which can help long after the surgery.

Welcome to Plano Breast Surgeon Doctor Beth Anglin's Website

As an independent specialist in surgical diseases of the breast, I strive to provide coordinated care that is based on the latest accepted technology and surgical practices. We accept almost all insurances as cancer doesn’t ask about coverage. Since I am not part of a large group, I can refer to the best and most convenient doctors for one’s diagnosis.

As part of a nationally certified breast center in Plano (NAPBC.org), I will explain your diagnosis and recommend treatment options that are supported by current published studies and research. As any breast issue can be scary, my office and I try to be responsive to your emotional as well as physical needs. As part of this commitment, Debbie is part of the team. Debbie Burns, a certified nurse practitioner, has been through biopsy, cancer surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. She is a wonderful asset to our practice.

To make certain you understand every aspect of your care and the options available to you, I strongly encourage you to ask questions and keep a positive attitude. Bring a list of questions and take notes. You have access to e-mail, cell phones and receive a full copy of reports for your personal file. We make an effort to see newly diagnosed cancer patients within 24 hours.

A vast majority of lumps I see are not cancerous. These could be cysts which can be treated in the office or benign solid masses that might not need removal such as a fibroadenoma. Other issues include breast pain or infection. Mastitis can often be treated conservatively with the continuation of nursing if desired. 

When appropriate, your care is coordinated with an outstanding team of specialists – medical oncologist, radiation oncologist, pathologist and reconstructive plastic surgeon – and always your primary care physician. As an independent breast surgeon in Plano, Frisco, McKinney and Dallas, there are many specialists. We can match each person to the best doctor; no matter the affiliation.

A biopsy may be performed to help with the diagnosis. It involves taking a tissue sample from suspected tissue for examination by a pathologist. And, if further surgery is required, our less invasive, more advanced techniques conserve breast tissue, reduce pain and minimize scarring.

Women who are diagnosed with breast cancer have more reason than ever to hope for long, productive, fulfilling lives. Using new, minimally invasive surgical techniques, we are taking more of a toll on cancer and less of a toll on you.
