A doctor has been convicted after subjecting a woman to a mastectomy despite there being no indication of cancer.

According to reports, the physician falsely told the patient that she carried a hereditary predisposition to cancer, convincing her to undergo surgery to remove her breasts as a preventive measure.

The woman later discovered the deception after undergoing additional medical tests on her own initiative, which showed that there was no medical necessity for a mastectomy.

Following her complaint, legal proceedings were initiated, and the doctor was ultimately found guilty and convicted.
