Answers (4)
Would like to know the imaging reports (such as scans) to decide the further management plan.
Next Steps
Kindly consult a surgical oncologist along with the patient for clinical examination and further evaluation, preferably with all imaging reports if already done, in order to plan subsequent management.
Health Tips
Please remember that treatment of breast cancer is multimodality, not a single modality alone. It usually includes a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and, when indicated, radiotherapy and endocrine therapy.
Therefore, adherence to the entire treatment protocol is essential for achieving the best possible outcome.
