Response to the Survey Question on Informing about Surgical Options. The top row presents the results for patients who reported lumpectomy only; the bottom row presents results for patients who reported mastectomy only. The left side presents pie charts of how many women reported that their physician told them about the surgical option in question. Patients who reported that they were not told about that surgical option were then asked if they would have considered it, if they had been told. The right side presents a stacked bar chart of the answers of those subsamples. It should be kept in mind that some of the women who did not hear about these options may simply have not been indicated for them, or may have had their surgery before the option became widely available
