Dr. Laurel Yeager, MD at Benrus Surgical, is open to sharing information on breast cancer and its treatments. She says once a patient is diagnosed with breast cancer, they are usually presented to the office and told about their choices. Nowadays, the treatments are very individualized; some have chemotherapy before surgery, which may take up to 4 to 5 months before they have surgery.
