A New Decision Aid for Early-Stage Breast Cancer Surgery
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study is testing a new tool to help women with early-stage breast cancer decide between lumpectomy (removing just the tumor) or mastectomy (removing the entire breast). The tool is designed for women who have not yet talked to a surgeon about their options.
