In this episode, we speak with Dr. Jean Bao, Clinical Assistant Professor of Surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine. We will explore prevalent misconceptions about breast cancer encountered in clinical practice, as well as the decision-making processes involved in managing benign masses and high-risk patients. Additionally, we will discuss innovative diagnostic technologies for at-risk individuals, the pathology of dense breast tissue, and new imaging techniques. We will also examine when to opt for a lumpectomy versus a double mastectomy, prophylactic mastectomy, skin and nipple-sparing mastectomies, and oncoplastic surgeries, focusing on their impact on patient outcomes and quality of life. Lastly, we will review nodal staging strategies for breast cancer and delve into Dr. Bao's research on fertility issues faced by young women with breast cancer.
