Treatment options for the woman diagnosed with breast cancer have changed considerably over time. Mastectomy was standard treatment for breast cancer 5 years ago. Today, breast conservation treatment (excision of primary tumor plus radiation therapy) is appropriate therapy for the majority of women with stage I or II breast cancer. Women now have options for therapy and can play a major role in deciding their courses of cancer care.
随着时间的推移，被诊断为乳腺癌的女性的治疗选择发生了很大变化。五年前，乳房切除术是乳腺癌的标准治疗方法。如今，保乳治疗（切除原发肿瘤加放射治疗）是大多数I期或II期乳腺癌女性的合适治疗方法。女性现在有了治疗选择，并且在决定自己的癌症治疗方案中可以发挥主要作用。
