Radiation therapy is commonly recommended after breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy) and, in some cases, after mastectomy — particularly when the tumor was large or lymph nodes were involved. The goal is to eliminate microscopic cancer cells in the breast, chest wall, or nearby lymph nodes that surgery alone may not remove.
Our team uses Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) and Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) to shape radiation beams around the treatment area, minimizing exposure to the heart, lungs, and surrounding healthy tissue. Treatment plans are reviewed by a multidisciplinary tumor board before therapy begins.
