SSO President-Elect, James R. Howe, MD, speaks with SSO Breast Cancer Disease Site Work Group Vice Chair, Kandace P. McGuire, MD. Dr. McGuire is the Chief, Section of Breast Surgery at the Massey Cancer Center at Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA.

The following podcast features a conversation with individuals who are experts within their respective fields and are members of the Society’s Disease Site Work Groups. SSO supports the need for treatment decisions to be made on a case-by-case basis. The surgeon’s knowledge and understanding of the biology of breast cancer, alternative treatment options, and the institution’s policies at the time the patient will be scheduled for surgery all need to be taken into consideration.
