This study and paper attempts to identify if breast cancer patients are truly informed regarding their treatment choices. What the authors conclude is that 415 of breast cancer patients are not presented with the option of breast conserving therapy or mastectomy, but are told to have one or the other. The authors found that breast surgeons are more likely to offer breast conservation but that women who are “well informed” are more likely to choose a mastectomy.

 December 6, 2011 -- Women who receive at least three screening mammograms have a 49% lower risk of dying from breast cancer, according to a new study released online today in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, a publication of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR).
Researchers at Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, used individual data for women invited to screening to conduct a case-control study to evaluate the effectiveness of population-based mammography screening in the Netherlands (Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev, December 6, 2011).
