Breast Reconstruction Options for Women After Mastectomy

Dr Cheng was invited to speak to The Queensland Radiation Oncology Training Group where he discussed breast reconstruction options for women diagnosed with breast cancer. In Australia only 13% of women who undergo mastectomy go on to have a breast reconstruction.  Often women are simply not aware of all their options and never have an opportunity to speak to a plastic surgeon.  Treating women with breast cancer takes a strong multidisciplinary team and this morning was a wonderful opportunity to share that knowledge across the disciplines to improve the outcomes for women and men with breast cancer.
