Preventive mastectomy gains approval as breast cancer treatment

Why is this being approved just now??!? It has been a medical option for YEARS elsewhere.

Perhaps if the Ministry of Health Oyajis hadn't prematurely approved "preventive testicular removal" for cancer decades ago they'd have the stones to approve life-saving medicine and procedures far earlier.

"Even if a patient opts for mastectomy, the procedure does not give any guarantee that breast cancer will not occur,......"

In other words, more frequent screening for cancer in higher risk patients is recommended, whether or not one gets a mastectomy, and therefore, a preventive mastectomy may be a waste of time.
