摘要
Patients with unilateral breast cancer are at increased risk for developing cancer in the contralateral breast. As a result, some patients choose contralateral prophylactic mastectomy (CPM) to prevent cancer in the contralateral breast. Several studies have reported that the CPM rates have markedly increased in recent years in the United States. In this article, we will discuss recent CPM trends, potential reasons patients choose CPM, outcomes after CPM, and alternative strategies for managing the increased risk of contralateral breast cancer among survivors of unilateral breast cancer. In addition, we will try to determine if women undergoing CPM are adequately informed about their decision.
