Large & Multiple Tumors Don’t Have to Result in Mastectomy
MP Post shares information about alternative protocols that can save breasts

New Rochelle, NY, November 8, 2013—Patients with large or multiple breast tumors may now be saved from disfiguring surgery, according to the Academy of Women's Health MP Post. New Breast Cancer Treatments, advancements in diagnostic testing and therapeutic techniques are facilitating more carefully designed mastectomy and reconstruction plans. This reduces the number of radical mastectomies performed on patients, the Academy of Women's Health interview shares. It also highlights information about over-diagnosing and over-treating certain cancers and offers advice on how to decrease risk. 

“Today, there are many cases in which we can preserve the breast for patients who were once considered automatic candidates for a mastectomy,” said Harry D. Bear, MD, PhD, Chairman, Division of Surgical Oncology, and Professor of Departments of Surgery and Microbiology, and Immunology at Virginia Commonwealth University and the Massey Cancer Center.  According to Dr. Bear, new pre-surgical strategies are empowering physicians to create more targeted and personalized approaches that minimize damage to the breast area.

In the interview, Dr. Bear discusses how the use of molecular profiling, neoadjuvant therapy and oncoplastic surgery can offer the option of partial mastectomy and reconstruction, while optimizing a patient’s cosmetic outcome.  See New Breast Cancer Treatments for more details.

“The Academy of Women’s Health website is fast becoming a popular physician and media resource,” asserts Susan G. Kornstein, MD, President of the Academy, Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Women’s Health, and Executive Director of the Virginia Commonwealth University Institute for Women’s Health.
