"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
Read the evidence to better understand advances in breast cancer diagnostics and treatment.
During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Annual Reviews invites you to read - and share - expert reviews of leading research about breast cancer. During October, women are encouraged to get mammograms. Read this collection to understand risk factors, developments in diagnostic breast imaging, and research on the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of breast cancer.
