BIG NEWS JUST OUT FOR BREAST CANCER PATIENTS.
New Haven, Conn. — Removing more tissue during a partial mastectomy could spare thousands of breast cancer patients a second surgery, according to a Yale Cancer Center study. The findings were published online May 30 in the New England Journal of Medicine and presented at the 2015 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology in Chicago.
I recently met Dr. Mark M. Melendez, who specializes in microvascular breast reconstruction surgery, including the DIEP flap procedure, for breast cancer patients and asked him to join me today to discuss.
Dr. Melendez is a fellowship-trained plastic surgeon who performs a full spectrum of cosmetic and reconstructive surgical procedures. He has three offices, located in Greenwich, Shelton, and Woodbridge, Connecticut. He and his staff are dedicated to ensuring that all of their patients feel safe and cared for, in a warm and welcoming atmosphere at all of their offices, and at six area hospitals. He has staff privileges at Greenwich Hospital, Griffin Hospital, Milford Hospital, Norwalk Hospital, St. Raphael’s Hospital, and Yale-New Haven Hospital.
Find Dr. Mark Melendez at The Cosmetic & Reconstructive Surgery Associates Of Connecticut.
