A member asked:
Is chemo required for an invasive carsinoma in situ stage 1b grade 2, 0.8 cm in size mastec done, fibroadipose and breast tissue, sentinel lymph clear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: With a node negative cancer. { i don't understand the invasive and in situ as they are apposite. } current recommendations are for genomic testing to see if the tumor has a high or low risk of recurrence.
