Why One Young Mother Choose A Double Mastectomy After DCIS Diagnosis 

Posted by Dr. Aaron G. Margulies - July 1, 2019 - Breast Cancer Surgery, Breast Cancer Diagnosis

One of our beloved patients was recently featured in the Citizen Tribune about her experience with DCIS breast cancer. The information in this blog post was gathered from that article:

Whitney Danehy McGowen was 33 years old when she went for a regular checkup with her obstetrician in the late fall of 2017. She mentioned a slight change in her left breast and her obstetrician, while not overly concerned, suggested it was a good reason to get a baseline mammogram since she had a family history of breast cancer.

More Hope For PARP Inhibitors In Treating Breast Cancer

Posted by Dr. Aaron G. Margulies - March 8, 2019 - Breast Cancer Research

We hosted a dinner on PARP Inhibitors recently. PARP Inhibitors are a class of medications that may have benefits in Triple Negative and other Breast Cancers in women with a BRCA mutation. Homologous Recombination Deficiencies are associated with several cancers, including breast cancer, and can be identified in breast cancer tissue itself. Tumors with a homologous recombination deficiency (including BRCA mutations) are described as HRD-positive.

You are a very wonderful doctor, very kind and sweet. I want to thank you for praying for me before I had my surgery. You don’t find many doctors like you that believe in prayer, I believe in prayer. May God bless you.
