Breast Cancer Doesn’t Just Happen in October

There was recently a very interesting Q+A published in the NY Times about long term significance of Ductal Carcinoma in situ (DCIS), partiularly in light of the findings of a new outcomes study assessing surgical treatment of DCIS. The study is an attempt to identify if DCIS is a precursor of breast cancer or an isolated risk factor of breast cancer.

This study certainly indicates that steps like protective mastectomy in the opposite, unaffected breast in women without gene positivity is not warranted. Click for more information

COVID-19 Update 03/15/2022

This is a new day, with new safety protocols. Our goal is to keep everyone safe and respect the continued concerns COVID-19 may present.

The state of Maryland is now fortunately downgraded to Yellow Status. COVID stress on the medical system has lessened and most areas in the state no longer mandate masks.

Currently in our office we are maintaining sterile surfaces and compulsive cleaning protocols – as always. We are requesting information about vaccination status, to particularly better help us prepare for patients interested in surgical procedures.

We are not mandating masks. We do respect our patients’ wishes and will wear a mask when requested to do so. We want our patients to be absolutely comfortable. All of our staff are vaccinated.

This is certainly an evolving issue and we will continue to pivot as COVID statistics change – hopefully for the better! Thank you!
