"The data now available demonstrate a significant impact of radiation therapy on survival as well as disease control and treatment-related mortality, opening a doorway to understanding the powerful impact of radiation therapy on both breast cancer and critical organs."
Julie A. Bradley and Nancy P. Mendenhall, Annual Review of Medicine, 2018
