Radiation therapy is an important component of multi-modality therapy for most patients with nonmetastatic breast cancer. However, most data concerning the efficacy of radiation therapy and the indications for its use have been obtained in patients who received surgical treatment as their initial ...
Radiation therapy is a common component of breast cancer treatment for patients. The high-powered beams of intense energy kill cancer cells and reduce the risk of the cancer recurring. Dr. Laura Vallow, chair of the Radiation Oncology Department at Mayo Clinic in Florida, explains how innovation ...
The researchers further found that patients who did not have CTCs in their peripheral bloodstream showed excellent outcomes whether they received radiation therapy or not. CTCs are found in an estimated 15 to 25 percent of patients with early-stage breast cancer. "Our findings provide initial robust...
