Breast Cancer Study: Patients May Be Too Quick To Have Double
Mastectomy
Many breast cancer patients have their healthy breast removed along
with the affected breast despite the relatively low risk of developing
cancer in that healthy breast, according to a new study. The findings
suggest that fear of the cancer recurring drives many women to have
the aggressive surgery. But there is scant evidence that removing both
breasts improves most women's long-term survival, some doctors say.

When the diagnosis is cancer, many people understandably want to pull
out all the stops to treat it. But some tests, treatments and
