Dr. Killelea talks about the importance of communication between all healthcare providers when treating patients with breast cancer.
Brigid Killelea, MD, MPH, FACS, from the Smilow Cancer Hospital at Yale Medical School stresses how important it is that all heathcare providers communicate after a patient with breast cancer has gone through surgery
