Product Description
It is clear that lumpectomy followed by breast radiation therapy is equivalent to modified radical mastectomy as a treatment for primary breast cancer. However, given that the indications for adjuvant therapy are continuing to evolve and that such treatment may influence the local recurrence rate, several studies have addressed the question of whether the use of adjuvant tamoxifen therapy makes the use of radiation therapy unnecessary. Two studies reported recently reach the conclusion that the indication for breast radiation therapy differs in women who are 50-70 years of age and those who are older than 70 years.

Product Description
Local recurrence of breast cancer is a harbinger of systemic disease, and much of the treatment approach to breast cancer is aimed at preventing local recurrence. Several large randomized trials have studied the effect of local/regional radiation therapy on breast cancer recurrence rates.

More of my story here: babiesornot.blogspot.com – this is a follow-up to my previous video, in which you can see me getting radiation and hear all about the experience. I forgot to mention one thing it doesn’t hurt! I also forgot to mention that the whole process, from the moment I walk in the door of the cancer center to the moment I walk out again, takes about a half hour. Radiation itself takes about five minutes. ]]> http://cancerradiation.org/blog/the-breast-cancer-radiation-experience/feed/ 0 Up-and-coming treatment option for breast cancer: radiation during surgery: intraoperative radiation therapy reduces treatment time and side … An article from: Women’s Health Advisor http://cancerradiation.org/blog/up-and-coming-treatment-option-for-breast-cancer-radiation-during-surgery-intraoperative-radiation-therapy-reduces-treatment-time-and-side-an-article-from-womens-health-advisor/ http://cancerradiation.org/blog/up-and-coming-treatment-option-for-breast-cancer-radiation-during-surgery-intraoperative-radiation-therapy-reduces-treatment-time-and-side-an-article-from-womens-health-advisor/#comments Mon, 29 Aug 2011 23:25:15 +0000 Admin
