Un CLIS [carcinome lobulaire in situ] dans un sein augmente le risque de cancer pour les deux seins. Pour cette raison, quelques femmes atteintes de CLIS se décident à faire une opération au cours de laquelle les deux seins sont enlevés (mastectomie bilatérale prophylactique). Celle-ci devrait empêcher le cancer de se développer. Les ganglions lymphatiques des aisselles ne sont en général pas retirés. 2, record 1, French, - mastectomie%20bilat%C3%A9rale
