In patients with Infiltrating Ductal Carcinoma - Triple Negative type, chemotherapy is almost always needed. However, as the size of the lesion in your particular instance is less than 5\u00a0mm (size mentioned is 2\u00a0mm) chemotherapy may be avoided. It may bet better for you to have a medical oncology consultation with all details being fed to Adjuvant Online! To find out the benefit of chemotherapy in your particular scenario. Other relevant history like family history, age and other parameters will also have a bearing on the final treatment decision.
