Abstract
Commentary on: Boero IJ, Paravati AJ, Hou J, et al . The impact of surgeons on the likelihood of mastectomy in breast cancer. Ann Surg 2019;269(5):951-58. doi:10.1097/SLA.0000000000002698.
Two of the major surgical treatment options available for invasive breast cancer include mastectomy and breast-conserving surgery (BCS). Recent studies have shown a better survival rate for BCS followed by radiation therapy compared with mastectomy, emphasising the importance of understanding the reasons behind choosing mastectomy …
