Marks et al., “One to three versus four or more positive nodes and postmastectomy radiotherapy: Time to end the debate,” JCO 26 (2008), pp. 2075–2077. These specialists argued that all patients with one to three positive nodes should be referred to a radiation oncologist for a “thoughtful discussion of the benefits and risks of treatment so that they make an informed decision.”

Degner et al., “Information needs and decisional preferences in women with breast cancer,” JAMA 277 (1997), pp. 1485–1492.

Keating et al., “Cancer patients’ roles in treatment decisions: Do characteristics of the decision influence roles?” JCO 28 (2010), pp. 4364–4370.

127 The data we cite on different decisions about mastectomy and oophorectomy among BRCA positive women with or without cancer: Jeffrey R. Botkin et al., “Genetic testing for a BRCA1 mutation: Prophylactic surgery and screening behavior in women 2 years post testing,” American Journal of Medical Genetics 118A (2003), pp. 201–209; E. J.
