A Good Prognosis Gets Better: Advances in the Treatment of Early-stage

Breast Cancer

Though a diagnosis of breast cancer will always be a shock, women

diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer can be reassured by the fact that

because the cancer was caught early, their diagnosis has been delivered when

treatment has the best chance of success. Furthermore, recent advances in the

treatment of early-stage breast cancer promise greater improvement in patient

outcomes.

Early-stage breast cancer refers to cancer that either is confined to the

breast or has not spread beyond the axillary (underarm) lymph nodes.[1] These

cancers include ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) as well as Stage I, Stage II,

and some Stage IIIA cancers. Read More »

Reconstructing Hope

Breast Reconstruction from the Plastic Surgeon's Point of View

Many of my patients are coping with breast cancer-newly diagnosed,

undergoing treatment, or presenting as long-term survivors. Conceptually,

everyone understands that there is nothing more important than treating and

hopefully curing their cancer and that the side effects are worth bearing for

the end result. In actuality, however, not all patients can easily face the

reality that some of these important treatments-surgery and radiation

included-may leave a breast changed forever: absent, scarred, smaller, or

misshapen. They may be facing a new reality when they look at one or both of

their breasts.

Instead of the skeletal chest wall deformity that many of our grandmothers

were subjected to following a radical mastectomy, today's breast cancer patient

may be able to undergo a skin-sparing procedure with an immediate reconstruction

using her own natural tissues, leaving her with the confidence to feel

comfortable in whatever she chooses to wear. Read More »
