Radiation therapy cuts low risk of recurrence in half for patients with 'good risk' breast cancer

by NRG OncologyA subset of patients with low-risk breast cancer is highly unlikely to see cancer return following breast conservation surgery but can lower that risk even further with radiationtherapy
