Description
Chukwumbana Faith Okirie wrote a 2026 letter on breast surgery after drug care given before an operation. A large study had counted how many women kept the breast and how many lost it. Okirie warns that a count of who kept the breast does not show who could have kept it in the first place.
The letter lists what shapes the true choice: scan results, calcium spots, tumor size next to breast size, and the woman's own wish. It urges future audits to log who was fit for each path, what the care team advised, and why the breast was lost. That shift would turn a plain count into a fair test of good care.
