Requesting a second opinion on reports

2021-03-07 09:37:03
I am requesting for a second opinion on the attached Histopathology And Cytology report, alongwith an ER/PR report for my mother-in-law, who was diagnosed with breast cancer (right side) and underwent surgery for breast removal. I would like to know if any additional procedures are needed/required after the breast has been removed. Thank you.

She does not require radiation therapy, however she will require hormonal therapy as her ER and PR is positive. Usually Tablet tamoxifen 20mg is given once daily for 5 years.
Next Steps
Request you to kindly consult a local medical oncologist at your place
Health Tips
Also, please ask her to do daily arm and neck exercises to prevent swelling of the right arm
