Patients should always understand breast cancer (& all cancers) are not black or white. There are so many factors that go into the treatment decisions for patients & their providers ..... Tumor size, tumor receptor status, node status, mets, tumor grade, genetic markers, age.... On and on! Enough of my thoughts, see article below.

Mastectomy or No Mastectomy
New research.... I have a hunch there are mutiple factors which could account for some of these results but this is interesting. Woman & providers have tough decisions to make everyday. Tumor biology & it's behavior & how recurrence occurs & why... Still so much research to be done! Thank you to all the researchers, research funders & pioneer patients who make it happen.
