The objective of radiation therapy to the breast is to kill cancer cells that could otherwise persist after therapy and cause breast cancer to relapse locally in the breast, surrounding chest wall, or axilla. A number of sessions depends on which fractionation schedule your doctor thinks is best suitable for you and which kind of surgery is performed (if the entire breast is removed after MRM or only the affected part of the breast by breast conservation surgery). Conventionally 25-31 sessions might be advised — one fraction per day, five days a week, over five or six weeks. In a hypofractionated treatment schedule that is also accepted & practiced worldwide for breast cancer patients for radiation, a total of 15- 20 sessions might be required.
Radiation decreases the risk of local cancer recurrence and improves survival. Multiple clinical trials conducted worldwide have shown that women treated with radiation following mastectomy and chemotherapy lived longer and were less likely to develop a cancer recurrence. Radiation therapy decreases the risk of dying from cancer by approximately 35-40% than those who don’t receive radiation.
