Hi,
Radiation therapy may be used to treat breast cancer at almost every stage. Radiation therapy is an effective way to reduce your risk of breast cancer recurring after surgery.
In addition, it is commonly used to ease the symptoms caused by cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic breast cancer).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Esmeralda Sera,
