Choice Cancer Care shares information about Post-Mastectomy Radiation Therapy

CARROLLTON, Texas - June 3, 2013 - PRLog -- Carrollton, Texas – Choice Cancer Care shares information about Post-Mastectomy Radiation Therapy.

Choice Cancer Care which is an independent, physician-owned cancer center network shares information about Post-Mastectomy Radiation Therapy. Radiation therapy is frequently recommended for patients who have undergone a mastectomy for breast cancer. For appropriate patients, post - mastectomy radiation therapy is associated with improved loco-regional control and better survival.

Although recent advances have greatly minimized many of its side effects, radiation therapy still can be associated with serious complications, with cardiac complications among the most common concerns. Thus, it is appropriate to review which patients are most likely to benefit from radiation therapy and which, if any, can avoid it. In a session at the 30th Annual Miami Breast Cancer Conference, Lawrence J. Solin, MD, chair of Radiation Oncology at Albert Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia, discussed whether all patients with 1 to 3 positive lymph nodes who have undergone mastectomy need postoperative radiation therapy.

At Choice Cancer Care, their team of doctors and oncologists also specialize in the most highly sophisticated methods of chemotherapy and radiation therapy available today, including MammoSite therapy which offers low cancer recurrence rates and improved cosmetic outcomes for breast cancer patients. In addition, Choice Cancer Care offers an on-site PET/CT scanner, radiation therapy with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), radiation therapy with image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) and stereotactic body radiation therapy, both intracranial (brain) and extra cranial (body).
