Reports on findings by Kevin Hughes on the role of radiation therapy after breast-conservation surgery with and without tamoxifen. Result that local recurrences are more than four times as common in the non-radiated group; Statement by Hughes on mastectomy rates; Risk of lumpectomy or salvage ...
The objective of radiation therapy to the breast is to kill cancer cells that could otherwise persist after therapy and cause breast cancer to relapse locally in the breast, surrounding chest wall, or axilla. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill cancer cells that remain in the...
