"The New Rules Of Breast Cancer" - Barbara Brody
Whether you’re trying to reduce your risk, navigating treatment options or moving on to survivor status, this is what you need to know about breast cancer. It’s controversial, but some women with ductal carcinoma in situ, an early-stage cancer that has spread outside the milk ducts, may postpone treatment in favor of more vigorous screening. The reason: Their cancer might be so small and slow-growing that it never becomes invasive. However, predicting which cancers lie low and which will turn aggressive is really a guessing game, said Elisa Port, MD, FACS, associate professor of surgery at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, chief of breast surgery and co-director of the Dubin Breast Center at The Mount Sinai Hospital. Dr. Port advises that patients pursue this option only within the confines of a closely monitored clinical trial.
