Treatment of breast cancer using radiotherapy

Treatment of breast cancer using radiotherapy

Treatment of breast cancer was an evolutionary process over the years, so if the first treatment involved mastectomy (the surgical technique
eradication of the breast), considering that only major surgery may cure the disease, is today more often resort to treatment with radiation. Thus malignant tumor removal occurs and a part of axial lymph nodes, breast is then treated by radiotherapy.
Moreover, the survival rate of women with early breast cancer treated by radiotherapy is an increasing trend, now their number is equal to the number of women who underwent masectomie.
Treatment with radiation involves several steps:
- Malignant tumor removal surgery and axial lymph nodes;
- Radiotherapy to the affected area;
- Radiotherapy Sterna around the breast.
The purpose of therapy is to eliminate any X raxe cancer cells
that remained after surgery in the breast or lymph nodes around (if not entirely removed).
Because radiation is a powerful treatment in cancer therapy, it may affect
sometimes the body's healthy cells, but normal cells will recover after treatment was stopped
In conclusion, radiotherapy is an essential component of modern cancer Allow, because not only improves treatment outcomes, but also help preserve the organs and therefore diminish the negative impact of cancer on quality of life.
