Breast Cancer Treatment Is Reduced to One Week
Date:1/29/2008

achytherapy uses an electronic source of radiation instead of radioactive isotopes. This allows the X-ray source to be turned on and off at will, and benefits patients because of its decreased radiation exposure to vital organs such as the heart and lungs.

Another advantage includes the change in treatment settings. Patients will now be able to receive their treatments in a comfortable room setting with their physician, instead of being separated in a shielded room alone while the physician distributes the treatment from another area.

Axxent Electronic Brachytherapy System is approved by the FDA for the treatment of early stage breast cancer. Women who are in this stage and are over the age of 50 may be eligible to participate in the study.

Knowing one's risk can significantly improve a woman's chance for surviving breast cancer. The earlier breast cancer is found, the better the chances that treatment will work. Women are invited to take a free breast cancer risk test at http://www.PursuingPainFreeCancer.org/breastcancer. Little Company's free online breast cancer risk test evaluates a woman's risk based on certain genetic and lifestyle factors that doctors believe affect one's breast cancer risk.
