    Welcome to Breast Cancer Choices, Inc., a nonprofit
    organization scrutinizing the evidence for breast cancer
    procedures and treatments.

    Every piece of information on this site has been rigorously
    fact-checked and documented.

    We provide evidence-based strategies which have passed the
    "do no harm" criteria.

    We believe breast cancer patients constitute the "troops on the
    ground" and can take action to empower themselves.

    As patient advocates, our mission is to help patients make evidence-
    based, informed choices about breast procedures and treatments.  

    How does a patient get informed?   --------------------

  • By getting the benefit of offered treatments
    in writing in the form of published studies.

  • Learning how to examine any study which claims you will
    (A) survive longer with a treatment and (B) how your quality
    of life will be affected.

  • Learning how to understand what the terms,
    relative risk and absolute risk, mean for your decision-making
    process. For example, if you were told a toxic treatment offered
    40% benefit and you read that it actually only offered a 5% absolute
    benefit with years of debilitating side effects, would this
    information affect your decision-making?

  • Learning your medical doctor is legally bound to recommend
    "standard of care" procedures of the medical community whether
    or not they have any evidence to support their use.
    Standard of care medical treatment is consensus-based, not
    evidence-based. Consensus-based only means the doctors voted
    on medical guidelines.
                                                                                                 
    Begin with the FAQ    ---------------------

    Ask frequently or never-asked questions about breast cancer
    policies.  Look at the documented results of the standard treatment
    route.

    After scrutinizing the survival record of conventional treatments,
    patients may consider alternative therapies, complementary
    therapies or proceed on the conventional route.

    Recently, several safe, non-toxic, do-no-harm strategies have
    emerged to specifically detox the breast so that it can function
    optimally.
