Looking for info. regarding Breast Schwannoma

by Shell on 10/2/2007 at 4:19 pmin category Research & Latest News
I'm having a VERY difficult time finding info. The surgeon wants to take out the tumor and yet, he himself knows very little. I haven't found many case studies and some of the sites require a fee. I recently contacted Vanderbilt in Nashville, Tn and waiting to hear from them. I do know for a fact that Breast Schwannoma is rare. I am open for ANY suggestions OR thoughts.
You can reach me at: imachristun@comcast.net
Thanks,
Michelle

Hi Shell,
Vanderbuilt is a great place to start... Dr. David Page is a Pathologist who DX my breast cancer when the Medical team in Texas had a hard time. So you are in good hands... I hope you hear back soon.
I just went to the BC bible (LOL) Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book, and you are right it is rare, she does not mention it in her 1991 book, but I know she has a newer version out... or google for her web site. I also have the number for the National Cancer Institue: (800) 4-Cancer

Have you tried contacting Sloan Kettering in New York or M.D. Anderson in Houston? They are both major cancer centers and probably could help you with info. Good luck to you. Julie

I googled breast schwannoma and got thousands of sites. It seems to be very rare. The sites seem to have alot of info and case studies. Good luck with your research.
