Breast Treatment Associates - About Our Doctor

    Michael J. Cross, M.D., F.A.C.S., is a Surgical Oncologist who limits his practice to the diagnosis and treatment of medical and surgical diseases of the breast. He is certified by the American Board of Surgery and has completed a fellowship in Surgical Oncology of the Breast at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas, Texas.

He is on the Board of Directors for the American Society of Breast Disease and is the National Chairman for the membership committee. Dr. Cross also is a faculty member for the American College of Surgeons Breast Ultrasound Committee and teaches breast ultrasound across the United States.

    Locally, Dr. Cross has served on the Board of Directors of the Arkansas Chapter of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation and is currently in his second term for the Northwest Arkansas Radiation Therapy Institute (NARTI) Board of Directors. He was appointed by the Governor of Arkansas, Mike Huckabee, from 1997 - 2003 to the Oversight Committee for Breast Cancer Research in the state of Arkansas.

    Dr. Cross is one of five Breast Cancer Surgeons in the State of Arkansas and in May 2003 introduced accelerated partial breast irradiation also known as Breast Brachytherapy for the treatment of early breast cancer. Research is a vital part of his practice and the diagnosis and treatment protocols are based on the latest research available from across the United States. Breast Cancer treatment has become very complex and demands 100% of our time. For this reason, Breast Treatment Associates limits its practice to only medical and surgical disease of the breast.
