Prophylactic Mastectomy and Breast Reconstruction for High-Risk Individuals

We held an informative session with Dr. Kathryn Isaac, a leading expert in plastic and reconstructive surgery, and Chair of the UBC Breast Reconstruction Program. The session was designed for individuals at high risk of developing breast cancer due to genetic factors, such as BRCA mutations.

Dr. Isaac provided an in-depth discussion on prophylactic mastectomy, a preventive surgery aimed at significantly reducing breast cancer risk. She also covered the various options available for breast reconstruction following surgery, focusing on the latest techniques, advancements, and considerations to help patients make informed decisions about their health.
