Showing Breast Cancer/Breast Radiation Therapy

Traveling From USA

Radiation therapy (also known as radiotherapy or radiation oncology) uses high-energy rays to stop cancer cells from growing and dividing. Radiation therapy is often used to destroy any remaining breast cancer cells in the breast, chest wall, or axilla (underarm) area after surgery. Occasionally, radiation therapy is used before surgery to shrink the size of a tumor. A common treatment for earlystage breast cancer is breast-conserving therapy.
