Radiation Therapy

Ten-year disease control in patients with nonmetastatic breast cancer did not differ significantly between patients treated with a reduced-dose hypofractionated radiation therapy compared with a standard protocol, according to a study presented at the meeting.

Low-dose intraoperative radiation therapy has proved comparable with whole-breast irradiation for preventing breast cancer recurrence, according to the preliminary results of the large randomized Targeted Intraoperative Radiotherapy (TARGIT-A) trial.
