Researchers at the University of Minnesota have found that more and more women, diagnosed with the earliest stage ofbreast cancer, are choosing to have both breasts surgically removed.
Dr. Todd Tuttle, an associate professor of Oncologic Surgery, has observed that the rate of contralateral prophylactic mastectomy (CPM) surgery among U.S. women with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) increased by 188 percent between 1998 and 2005.
