A member asked:
Do women lose their breast regardless of what stage of breast cancer they have?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: The decision between a mastectomy (whole breast out) vs. Lumpectomy (only the tumor out) depends on many factors. Sometimes is a medical decision but very often is a personal decision made by the patient. Each choice has its pros and cons and patients should be well informed so they can make a selection they feel comfortable with.

No,,,: Early stage breast cancer may not need anything more than lumpectomy, especially if they have negative axillary lymph nodes.
