"Can I keep my breast?"
"Can I keep my breast?" is a question many women going through breast cancer ask. In this webinar, our expert panel, including visiting international surgeon Professor Angel Arnaout, discusses the breast-conserving surgical techniques that studies show offer the highest survival rates, while allowing women to keep their breast following a diagnosis of breast cancer.
