Abstract
Increasingly, U.S. women with the first diagnosis unilateral breast cancer are choosing contralateral prophylactic mastectomy against expert advice. This grounded theory study aims to expand nursing knowledge of women's decision-making within the existing social context as a base for health policy development, expansion of nurse's roles, and empowerment of women.
