Preventative Mastectomy: These Are the Only Women Who Should Consider It
Can breast cancer be prevented?
Canadian Cancer Society predicts, in 2019 alone, 26,900 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. A startlingly large figure.
However, thanks to extensive research and advances in tech, there are preventative measures that those considered to be high-risk of developing breast cancer can take. One (but by no means the only) approach that could reduce the risk in high-risk women is a prophylactic (preventative) mastectomy.
