Double mastectomy does not improve breast cancer survival for most women, according to a new study.
A new study finds that double mastectomy does not improve breast cancer survival for the majority of women. Researchers used data from over 661,000 US women with breast cancer on one side and found no survival advantage for those who had their other breast removed. The study's results may not apply to women with BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene variants, which significantly increase cancer risk.
