New research released recently concluded that many doctors don't discuss all available options with breast cancer patients before actual surgery -- leaving many of them uninformed about breast or lump removal.

Is this a sign of incompetence or a sign of dollars from more surgeries? Either way, it's hard to fathom that some of the most highly educated professionals leaving out every conceivable detail when conveying information to each and every patient.

That's apparently what is happening in an increasing way with breast cancer patients, although the true reason why will probably never be known, much like decades of "research" that basically solve nothing.
