Breast cancer is a leading killer of Malaysian women with about 5000 new cases every year. Half of the women diagnosed are below 50 years old. With a consultant breast and endocrine surgeon in the studio with us, we will discuss the roles of screening, surgery and supplements in preventing and treating breast cancer. Also, what are the options for reconstructive surgery?
