International journal of surgery (London, England) - 1 Feb 2018

Kenny R, Reed M, Subramanian A

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Prophylactic or 'risk-reducing' mastectomy refers to the procedure of completely removing a healthy breast in order to reduce the risk of developing breast cancer. This may be bilateral or may be performed to the contralateral breast as part of the treatment of a proven breast cancer. The rate of this procedure being performed has been shown to be increasing over the last two decades. Recent guidance...
