Ductal carcinoma. Can surgery cause cancer to spread?

I was newly diagnosed with ductile carcinoma. Can surgery cause cancer to spread?

@meeshodge I was thrown by the "DXsion"! I looked up the DCISionRT (Prelude Dx) which is new since my cancer. There is an Oncotype DCIS but the DCISionRT gives info on whether radiation is of benefit, which is great. The Oncotype gives info on how much risk can be reduced with hormonal meds but generally it is around 50%.

Glad to see research has come up with a test on the benefit of radiation!

I can see that the top score is 10 so with 9.2. Did you do radiation? I can see you declined tamoxifen and read your reasons why.

@checker98 you will probably have an Oncotype Dx test or similar testing to determine if chemo is beneficial, or if it is better to do only hormonal meds. What surgery are you having?

A lumpectomy and biopsy of the lymph node.
