Abstract:
Radiation therapy plays an important role in the management of both invasive and noninvasive breast cancer. During the last 20 years, the availability of radiation therapy has made it possible to test the feasibility and safety of breast preservation after the diagnosis of early-stage breast cancer. This article summarizes some of the ongoing controversies concerning the use of radiation therapy in the multidisciplinary management of breast cancer.
