Dr. Deanna Attai, who is on the board of directors for American Society of Breast Surgeons, stands in front of cryoablation machine at the American Society of Breast Surgeons conference on May 1, 2013 in Chicago. The machine uses liquid nitrogen to freeze some kinds of breast cancer tumors. Treating breast cancer almost always involves surgery, and for years the choice was just having the lump or the whole breast removed. Now, new approaches are dramatically changing the way these operations are done, giving women more options, faster treatment, smaller scars, fewer long-term side effects and better cosmetic results.

Ragona was diagnosed with breast cancer and recently had a mastectomy where surgeons saved much of her skin and started reconstruction during the same surgery.

This undated image provided by Karl Deisseroth's lab shows a combination of photos of an intact adult mouse brain before and after the two-day CLARITY process. Scientists have made mouse brains transparent, permitting a comprehensive and exquisitely detailed view of their inner structures, providing a major new tool for research. "You get the big picture without losing track of the details,'' said Dr. Karl Deisseroth, who led the Stanford team that reported the work online Wednesday, April 10, 2013 in the journal Nature. Some other labs are already working to apply the technique on other kinds of tissue, such as for studying breast cancer biopsies, Deisseroth said. (AP Photo/Karl Deisseroth)

This undated photo provided by the family on Tuesday, March 26, 2013 shows Vicki Gilbert in Wiltshire, England. In 2010, Gilbert was diagnosed with breast cancer and then found she carries the mutated BRCA1 gene which may make her pre-disposed to ovarian cancer. Gilbert decided to have ovaries removed to prevent the potential onset of further cancer, and her breast cancer is in remission. A huge international effort involving more than 100 institutions and genetic tests on 200,000 people has uncovered dozens of signposts in DNA that can help reveal further a person’s risk for breast, ovarian or prostate cancer, scientists reported Wednesday, March 27, 2013. It’s the latest mega-collaboration to learn more about the intricate mechanisms that lead to cancer. (AP Photo)

FILE - This Wednesday, Sept. 19, 2102 file photo shows a linear accelerator used to treat cancer at a hospital in Johnstown, Pa. Women treated with radiation for breast cancer are more likely to develop heart problems later, even with the lower doses used today, troubling new research suggests. The risk comes from any amount of radiation, starts five years after treatment and lasts for decades, doctors found. Patients shouldn't panic - radiation has improved cancer survival and that is the top priority, doctors say. The chance of suffering a radiation-induced heart problem is fairly small. The study appears in the Thursday, March 14, 2013 New England Journal of Medicine. (AP Photo/Tribune-Democrat, John Rucosky) THE MORNING CALL OUT; DAILY AMERICAN OUT; WJAC-TV OUT

Johnson is the lead author of a new study that shows that advanced breast cancer cases have increased slightly among young women, a 34-year analysis suggests, raising many questions about possible reasons even as the disease remains uncommon in women younger than 40. Johnson herself was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer at age 27, 17 years ago. Unlike women in the study, Johnson’s cancer was caught early. (AP Photo/Elaine Thompson)
