Healthy Living: Remote Control Mastectomy

Posted: Updated:

Each year about 100,000 women with breast cancer will undergo a mastectomy.

For those who elect reconstructive surgery, it can be a long and painful process.

Now a remote control is changing that.

The study is actively recruiting all over the country for mastectomy patients planning to undergo breast reconstruction.
