Freya R. Schnabel on the Treatment Options for Breast Cancer

Freya R. Schnabel, MD, director of Breast Surgery at Laura and Isaac Perlmutter Cancer Center at NYU Langone Medical Center, discusses the importance of choosing individualized treatment options for patients with breast cancer.

Today there are more surgery and treatment options than ever before, Schnabel says. Technological advances have allowed patients to gain access to information that will help them better understand both their disease and their treatments. However, Schnabel says, there is no substitute for a good conversation between the doctor and patient.
