Athens Regional Medical Center in Georgia takes a team approach to treating breast cancer patients, including counseling to help patients deal with the emotional impact, says plastic surgeon James Moore, the hospital's senior vice president and chief medical officer.

Studies have also found that reconstruction plays a part in alleviating the psychological trauma of breast cancer, he said. Athens Banner-Herald (Ga.)
