Surgeons’ Perspectives of Contralateral Prophylactic Mastectomy
2016
Background
Contralateral prophylactic mastectomy (CPM) is commonly performed for the treatment of breast cancer, despite its limited oncologic benefit. Little is known about surgeons’ perceptions of performing CPM. We hypothesized that a proportion of surgeons would report discomfort with performing CPM, particularly when there is discordance between patients’ perceived benefit from CPM and the expected oncologic benefit.
