A member asked:
When after someone is diagnosed with breast cancer do they start treatment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Soon: Depends on stage at diagnosis. For early breast cancers, usually plan surgery a few weeks after diagnosis and want to start medical oncology treatments within a month of the surgery.
