Erika Hamilton: For those healthy enough for surgery, do it in cases of breast cancer

Erika Hamilton, Medical Oncologist and the Director of Breast Cancer Program at Sarah Cannon Research Institute, shared a post on X:

“Often surgery delayed for our older women >80…? if this harms or is reasonable?

Endocrine therapy alone – 14% increase in distant recurrence

And 14% increase in breast cancer mortality.

Takeaway – for those healthy enough for surgery, do it.”
