The ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½Patient Education Program would like to thank the following for their participation in the filming of this production:
The Surgical Breast Cancer Program, developed by the ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ Division of Education, is made possible in part by the generous support of an educational grant from the Loyal and Edith Davis Fund.
This information is published as a communications vehicle: to inform and to educate the public about specific surgical procedures. It is not intended to take the place of a discussion with a qualified surgeon who is familiar with your situation. It is important to remember that everyone is different, and the reasons and outcomes of any operation depend upon the patient’s specific diagnosis, disease state, or other medical condition.
The ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½ (ACS) is a scientific and education association of surgeons that was founded in 1913 to improve the quality of care for the surgical patient by setting high standards for surgical education and practice. The ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½endeavors to provide procedure education for prospective patients and those who educate them. The ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½makes every effort to provide information that is accurate and timely but makes no guarantee in this regard.
