Standard breast cancer treatments such as lumpectomy, followed by radiation, often cause painful side effects.

"we think that radiation may not be necessary for older patients who

THAT'S BECAUSE A NEW STUDY IN THE NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE SAYS
THAT FOR WOMEN OVER 70 LIKE EVELYN... RADIATION DID NOT HAVE MUCH OF A
POSITIVE EFFECT .
THE RESEARCH FOUND IT DID NOT IMPROVE SURVIVAL RATES AND ONLY SLIGHTLY
DECREASED THE RISK OF THE TUMOR COMING BACK.
(SOT-Dr. Kevin Hughes/Mass General Hospital)
"I think we can significantly decrease the number of women we recommend
radiation for. So I think it will have a major impact on our patient
population, this is a third of all breast cancer occurs in women over
70." :10
DOCTOR KEVIN HUGHES, WHO WAS PART OF THE RESEARCH TEAM, SAYS THE FINDING
COULD HELP SOME 40-THOUSAND WOMAN OVER 70 AVOID RADIATION AND ITS SIDE
EFFECTS EVERY YEAR.
BUT HE NOTES, FOR YOUNGER WOMEN IT IS STILL A USEFUL TOOL.
THE STUDY ALSO FOUND THAT IN WOMEN 'UNDER' 70 RADIATION IS VERY
EFFECTIVE IN KEEPING BREAST CANCER FROM RETURNING.
(nats)
FOR 79-YEAR-OLD EVELYN GETTING TO AND FROM THE HOSPITAL IS NO EASY TASK.
SO BEING ABLE TO AVOID RADIATION MAKES HER FIGHT AGAINST BREAST CANCER
LESS OF A PAIN, IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE.
