Multicentre prospective observational study evaluating recommendations for mastectomy by multidisciplinary teams.

CONCLUSION: Most mastectomies are advised for large tumour to breast size ratio, but there is an inconsistency in the use of NST to downsize tumours in patients with large ER+ or HER2+ cancers. The application of standardized recommendations for NST could reduce the number of mastectomies advised by MDTs. PMID: 31691270 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
