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.

Via Christi Health radiation oncologist, Dr. Jon Anders, explains how radiation can be used to destroy the DNA of cancerous cells.

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.
