Hi Lani, I am very interested in this, as I have my second stage of my reconstruction coming up.
I was wondering how did they find out that surgery induces angiogenesis of distant micrometastases? did they just look at how many recurred, or did they do some bone marrow/tissue sample tests?
the one thing that struck me about this study is that they are comparing premenopausal women to post menopausal women. Isn't cancer in premenopausal women more agressive, whether they have surgery or not? couldn't that explain the difference?
