  5. What will happen with the biopsy?

  6. What will be learned from the biopsy?

  7. Invasive ductal CA confirmed • Estrogen Receptor • Progesterone Receptor • HER-2 Expression • Histologic grade

  8. If it is breast cancer, then what?

  9. Surgery: primary, reconstructive • Medical Oncology: adjuvant therapy • Radiation Oncology: allows breast conservation

  10. What are the surgical options?

  11. What will be learned from surgery?
