Has your doctor just said the two words you dread most: breast cancer?

You are NOT alone. This year more than 200,000 women will hear those very same words and experience the same feelings of shock, confusion, and disbelief.

But there is some GOOD NEWS. Despite the panic you may feel, a breast cancer diagnosis is NOT a medical emergency.

You have time to seek out a second opinion … search for a facility that offers full breast health services and the latest imaging equipment … and find a surgeon who is an expert in breast disease. You have time to read and learn about the most successful breast cancer treatment options available to you -- so you can make informed decisions about your future.

To help you, we asked Dr. Theodore Tsangaris, Chief of Breast Surgery at Johns Hopkins, to share his wisdom and hands-on experience with breast cancer patients JUST LIKE YOU in an important new treatment guide: Breast Cancer Surgery and Recovery.

KNOWLEDGE IS KEY
When It Comes To Treating Breast Cancer Successfully

If you’re reading this letter now, you’ve probably received a diagnosis of breast cancer. It’s in your best interest to be proactive – to seek medical opinions from a variety of doctors and develop an action plan that takes into account your tumor grade and stage, your age, overall health, hormone status, sexuality, and family support system.

Breast Cancer Surgery and Recovery focuses on the diagnostic evaluation and surgical treatment of early-stage breast cancer. You’ll learn who are the best candidates for mastectomy as well as for breast conserving surgery (BCT) or lumpectomy. We explain how sentinel lymph node biopsy is used to determine whether breast cancer has spread to the lymph nodes and we provide a detailed discussion of breast reconstruction.

Breast Cancer Surgery and Recovery provides you with a comprehensive guide to all the crucial issues to consider in treating your breast cancer, and the most important questions to ask your doctor before taking ANY action. In the early chapters we explain in detail:

• What’s the best treatment for noninvasive in situ breast cancer – cancer that’s discovered before it has spread?
• The types of invasive breast cancers, including invasive ductal carcinoma, invasive lobular carcinoma, medullar carcinoma, and tubular carcinoma.
• Understanding your biopsy choices. We discuss in detail: fine needle aspiration, needle localization, stereotactic core biopsy, or excisional and incisional biopsies.
• The art of breast cancer staging – how the rate of cell growth, patterns of cell growth, presence of “dead cells,” and lymphatic invasion are used to determine the best treatment plan.
• What the presence of HER2/neu oncogenes tells us about the aggressiveness of the cancer.

Breast Cancer Surgery: You’ve Got Choices

If your biopsy result comes back positive for cancer, it’s time to make treatment decisions and these decisions almost always involve surgery. Deciding on the type of breast cancer surgery is not easy. In our chapter, Treatment of Early-Stage Breast Cancer, Dr. Tsangaris reviews the recent history of breast cancer surgery – from the Halsted Radical Mastectomy to breast-conserving surgery with radiation.

You’ll learn the differences among:

• Total simple mastectomy
• Modified radical mastectomy
• Skin-sparing mastectomy
• Nipple-sparing mastectomy
• Nipple- and areola-sparing mastectomy
• Scar-sparing mastectomy
• Preventive/prophylactic mastectomy

You’ll learn the answers to questions about the use of lumpectomy:

• Can lumpectomy suffice without follow-up radiation therapy?
• Who’s a good candidate for a lumpectomy?
• Is mastectomy ever recommended instead of lumpectomy with follow-up radiation?
• How is lumpectomy performed?
• What happens after the surgery is completed?
• What’s the level of post-operative pain?
• When can activities of daily living and exercise resume?

You’ll learn about the role of lymph node dissection in breast cancer treatment and how the less invasive sentinel node biopsy is used by surgeons to determine the stage of the cancer.

Post Surgery Decisions: Breast Prostheses, Breast Reconstruction, Radiation, Chemotherapy

In the past decade, major achievements have been made in the “art” of breast reconstruction following mastectomy. Breast Cancer Surgery and Recovery presents the latest thinking on breast reconstructions, providing in-depth comparisons of breast implants and tissue flap or TRAM procedures.

Working together with your breast surgeon and breast plastic and reconstructive surgeon, you have a number of options, including:

External prosthesis -- or breast form -- worn inside a bra or attached to the body

Simultaneous breast reconstruction performed at the same time as mastectomy

Staged breast reconstruction performed after radiation therapy

In Breast Cancer Surgery and Recovery we address many of the psychological, aesthetic, and practical concerns of breast reconstruction and follow-up, such as:

• How old is too old for reconstructive surgery?
• Which procedure provides better results: flap procedure or silicone implants?
• Post-op radiation therapy: what should I expect?
• When’s the best time to start adjuvant chemotherapy after breast cancer surgery?
• What happens during a rehabilitation program?
• What’s the best practice of follow-up care to reduce the chance of breast cancer recurrence?
• The evolving role of tamoxifen: what are the risks?
