San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium

Research was recently presented at the 2011 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium. Among the results were that generally the ratio between those having breast reconstruction after mastectomy was somewhat stable... 42% of women younger than 50 and 17% of women 50 and older underwent immediate breast reconstruction over a 10 year period. Notably there remain barriers but as a group we will continue educating our patients regarding the potential benefits of breast reconstruction.. Best wishes for the New Year!
