The ACS strongly en courages frank, fully informed <fis cussion between doctor and patient. How much healthy tissue should be removed along with the cancer and whether or not the woman will need radiation or chemotherapy afterward should be “resolved be tween the patient and her phy sician on an individual basis.’’ The Society also urges that at the time of surgery, the cancer should be tested to see whether it needs such hormones as estrogen and pm-, gesterone. The test, which must be done on fresh tissue, revesls whe ther that blocks or removes wm— hormones might help the patient if a hormone-dependent cancer recurs later. A woman undergoing surgery for possible cancer should make a speci fic request of her pbysican to do this hormone receptor test,” the Society declares. The test must be done immediately at the time of surgery. “Breast cancer can be treated with surgery, radiation, chemothe rapy and hormone manipulation, but no treatment is 100 percent gua ranteed to keep the cancer from recurring,” explains Or. Arthur I. Holleb, senior vice president for medical affaire far the American Cancer Society. Since every pa tient is unique, all cannot be treated the same way, and many patients need more than one form of therapy. “The size, location, and growth rate of the cancer varies among psHcnfr The ACS emphasizes that during this interval the physician can ex plain the patient’s situation and options to her in understandable terms, possibly seeking another me dical consultation if this is de sired by the patient and-or her phy sician. The patient must think v:, through her choice* and discuss her preferences with the physician. “In treating breast cancer to day, there's no standard, cookbook approach that is suitable for all patients,’’ says Dr. Holleb. In the past, the standard treat ment for all breast cancers was the' Halsted radical mastectomy, an operation in which the breast, the underlying chest muscles and the lymph nodes In (be armpit are all removed. “The more tissue the surgeon removed, it was thm«ht. the better the chance that the ramyr wouldn't recur,’’ added Dr. Holleb. Today, surgeons are performing modified radical mastectomies, ope rations that don't remove the miw des, and make breast reconstruc tion surgery easier if the woman wants it Recent research in the U.S. and Europe shows that when the cancer is small, the surgeon may remove only the cancer itself, plus a margin of healthy tissue and take samples of the axillary lymph nodes.

The ACS statement goes on to say that, for women with breast cancer that has spread to the lymph nodes, chemotherapy after surgery "may reduce or delay the chance of re surrence." “Chemotherapy 18 not appropriate for all patients,” says Dr. Hoileb. “Some will do well with surgery alone, while others may need every form of additional therapy we have to offer. This is another decision that has to be discussed between doc tor and patient." Even if (he cancer recurs else where In the body, it may be con trolled for a long time by che motherapy or by hormonal therapy, the ACS statement notes. “A number of options are available, but again, the choice has to be tailored to the patient and her individual situation,” concluded Dr: Hoileb.
