Abstract

More importantly, this study has shown that prophylactic mastectomy surgery is a viable and worthwhile treatment to prevent breast cancer recurrence. It is hoped that this information will increase the knowledge of breast cancer. For the same reason, this paper has attempted to explain what cancer is while describing how the genetics of a person cause or contribute to its development. Most of all, it is hoped that this paper will emphasize the severity of this disease in the United States today and tomorrow .
