Dear Kay-

Any general surgeon experienced with breast cancer can deal with this case. The proper follow up with an Oncologist (cancer specialist) and a Radiation Oncologist (radiation treatment specialist) if she is having only a lumpectomy, is also needed. Her primary physician or her surgeon will provide the proper referrals. Hannah Brooks, MD, FACS

My Mom (age 60) has just been diagnosed w/ Stage I breast cancer. It's 0.9mm in diameter, and doesn't seem to have spread. Her gynecologist (also her principal care physician) has referred her to a general surgeon, shouldn't she be seeing an oncology surgeon instead? Thanks for your response.

Kay
