answer

  • When a woman cannot be treated with breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy), which saves most of the breast.
  • If a woman chooses mastectomy over breast-conserving surgery for personal reasons.
  • For women at very high risk of getting a second breast cancer who sometimes choose to have a double mastectomy (the removal of both breasts).
