Low Breast Cancer Recurrence Rate With Radiotherapy Tailored to Nodal Response
By: Charles Bankhead From: medpagetoday.com Ten years after tailored radiotherapy (RT) for breast cancer, fewer than 3% of patients had locoregional recurrences (LRR), most during the first 5 years, a Dutch registry study showed. The overall LRR of 2.9% did not differ significantly across subgroups of patients with low-, intermediate-, or high-risk disease or between the risk groups. Both the …
