This disease is well studied, and treatment options are described in detail in clinical guidelines. Nevertheless, at all stages, from the diagnosis of breast cancer to its follow-up planning, controversial issues, reasons for doubt or the need to choose between recommended treatment options may come up.

For example, at the earliest, precancerous stage of the disease (carcinoma in situ), one doctor may insist on immediate action, while another may admit the possibility of a wait-and-watch approach. If the tumor has already become malignant, but its size is still very small, some would suggest immediate surgery, whereas others would opt for starting with neoadjuvant drug treatment to make it even smaller and reduce the extent of surgical procedure. How do we know who is right?

It sounds odd, but each of the options may have certain grounds. The fact is that breast cancer has many faces and facets. The differences are not only in its size and spread, but also in the tumor molecular biology and genetic profiles. Moreover, there is a number of other factors essential for decision-making: age, family cancer history, general health, etc.

Therefore, in one and the same situation it is often basically possible to consider different approaches to dealing with the issue. The challenge is to choose not just the correct way, but the very best among the possible correct ones. A second opinion can be of an invaluable help.
