The Breast Cancer rate in the us has not increased. But more and more women are opting to have their breasts surgically removed. With more, heres abc news senior medical contributor, dr. Timothy johnson Breast Cancer is a terrifying diagnosis. And decades ago, removing the entire breast was then surgeons began to preserve normal breast areas by doing lumpectomies instead . Now in a Surprising New finding from researchers at the us agency for Healthcare Research and quality, the trend seems to be changing again. Total mastectomies, complete removal of the breast jumped by more than a third between 2005 and 2013. Part of the reason for the increase was a doubling in the number of women opting for double mastectomies; having both breasts removed even if cancer is found only in one. Actress Angelina Jolie made headlines when she had both her breasts removed, because she had a genetic mutation, which raises cancer risk. Doctors suggest that some highrisk women prefer having the double surgery to the anxiety of having frequent mammograms and biopsies. Survival rates are no different for women who have a mastectomy versus women who have a smaller lumpectomy. But double mastectomies do, of course, reduce the chance of developing cancer in the other breast. Obviously each woman needs to make a decision about what is best for her.
