Abstract
- The article presents a treatment option not to recommend contralateral prophylactic mastectomy to a woman diagnosed with a triple-negative breast cancer. It mentions the definitive diagnosis of the woman's mass in the left breast that was evaluated via mammography and magnetic resonance imaging. The risks associated with the procedure and lack of survival benefit in patients are also discussed.
