This is a very individualized decision and may vary from person to person depending on many other factors. This cannot be discussed on an email or a Whatsapp or forum. Cancer treatment is a very very delicate issue and cannot be decided by seeing just one report. It needs patient assessment as a whole and many other things. Our sincere suggestion is sit with your Oncologist, and discuss in detail. Your Oncologist is the right person to guide you here.
Ok, thanks for the prompt reply Dr Shah. Appreciate it. Could you please tell me what is the risk of recurrence with and without chemotherapy in T1a BC?
Also does the survival statistics change with chemotherapy?
