Breast Cancer In The News: A New Study Suggests Additional Treatment Options For Some Breast Cancer Patients
The news reported on February 8, 2011 about avoiding unnecessary surgery to remove lymph nodes when radiation and/or chemotherapy have been shown to eradicate cancerous cells opens new options for some breast cancer patients. This finding, resulting from a large scale study, reflects BCRF's credo that research saves lives and is key to the development of new and better treatments. It is our hope that follow-up studies will continue to further substantiate or modify the findings.
