A Special Note Of Gratitude From A Relieved Patient

February 11, 2019 / Dr. Aaron G. Margulies / Breast Cancer Treatment, Patient Stories
0

Hello, Margulies office people!

This is just a quick note to thank you all for all the concern, assistance, and care you have given me over the past month. One month ago today I had the biopsy that came back with a Grade 1 cancer result, and today I’m at work with only a couple of scars and a cute little purple binder covering my cancer-free chest. 🙂 I know there is more treatment ahead of me, but I am very grateful to be so quickly and easily to this point. I can only pray that the rest of the process will be as efficient, straightforward, and reassuring as my experience with your office has been.

Essential Questions To Ask About Your Breast Cancer Surgery

February 6, 2019 / Dr. Aaron G. Margulies / Breast Cancer Diagnosis
0

Facing a breast cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming and frightening. Understandably, you may feel that you don’t know where to start on this journey that you didn’t ask to take. The first step is to begin gathering information about your type of breast cancer and what the treatment options are, including surgery. Breast cancer surgery has evolved in some fantastic ways over recent years, so you most likely have more options to consider than you realize.

A breast cancer diagnosis is overwhelming and frightening, understandably prompting a swirl of emotions and a long list of questions. The worry and uncertainty is real for both the person who has been diagnosed and the family members who love her (or him, see Men Get Breast Cancer Too).

Does Fertility Treatment Affect Your Risk of Breast Cancer?

January 2, 2019 / Dr. Aaron G. Margulies / Breast Cancer Treatment
0

Some women who undergo In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) worry that the process may increase their risk of developing breast cancer. It’s estimated that over 8 million babies have been born worldwide as a result of IVF and other advanced fertility treatments since the first IVF birth in 1978. In the U.S., 1.5% of all births are the result of using artificial reproductive therapies, which is the highest percentage to date.

Encouraging News For Treatment Of HER2-positive Early Breast Cancer

December 10, 2018 / Dr. Aaron G. Margulies / Breast Cancer Treatment
0

I’m excited to share news about a significant advancement in treatment for patients with HER2-positive early breast cancer. A phase III trial shows that a treatment called Kadcyla® (TDM-1) lowered the risk of recurrence of invasive breast cancer or death by 50% compared to Herceptin® in patients with HER2-positive early breast cancer with residual disease after pre-surgical (neoadjuvant = NST) therapy.

What You Need To Know About Breast Implants And Lymphoma

November 30, 2018 / Dr. Aaron G. Margulies / Breast Cancer Surgery
0

Women choose to get breast implants either for breast reconstruction after mastectomy or for cosmetic reasons. Recently, there’s been a good deal of news coverage about a connection between breast implants and cancer. This relates to a report that the FDA has released regarding women with breast implants developing a type of cancer called breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma, or BIA-ALCL.

Concerns About Genetic Testing Kits For Detecting Breast Cancer Genes

You’ve most likely seen the ads on TV for home-kits like 23andMe that can tell you about your ancestry through saliva testing. 23andMe is now offering the ability to give you FDA approved health reports as well, and people are curious if these reports can determine if they carry the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, which increase the risk of breast and ovarian cancer.

Respecting A Woman’s Choice To “Go Flat”

November 19, 2018 / Dr. Aaron G. Margulies / Breast Cancer Surgery
0

One skill that separates me from other surgeons is my ability to leave women flat-chested after a mastectomy if they so desire. For years, medical professionals as well as breast cancer patients adhered to the idea that breast reconstruction is an integral part of breast cancer treatment. However, many patients today are choosing to forego reconstruction and remain breastless after breast cancer surgery.

4 Reasons To Elevate Breast Cancer Awareness

October 22, 2018 / Dr. Aaron G. Margulies / Cancer Survival

October may be the official Breast Cancer Awareness Month, but we passionately believe that everyone can be taking steps to raise awareness about breast cancer every month of the year.

Currently, breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among women, and 1 in 8 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. Fortunately, over 3.3 million breast cancer survivors are alive in the United States today. My beloved Aunt Laura and many of my cherished patients are among those survivors.
