In this expert led chat about reconstructive surgery, we spoke with with Mark Schusterman, M.D. chair of the Department of Surgery at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. Welcome everyone, I'm on the phone with Dr. Mark Schusterman who is desparately trying to get on the internet but will answer questions via my phone and fingers. Dr. S is chair of the department of Plastic surgery at MD Anderson hospital in Houston and is an expert in breast reconstruction. ANA 2 of us are patients.
Calcifications can be anything found on the mammogram.
If they look a certain way they can be indicative of breast cancer. A fibroadenoma is a benign breast tumor that is usually not calcified. So from now on I'll be speaking for myself. Dock is still on the phone with me and is working on the answer to Ana's second question. The second part of your question is much more difficult to answer.
