“Many patients have mistaken beliefs about breast cancer, which overshadow the advances of medical science and surgical expertise over the last 20 years.

 

As breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, it’s important to debunk these beliefs — to know that breast cancer can be conquered, and cure is possible, especially with early detection.”
