"Regional Nodal Irradiation in Early-Stage Breast Cancer"

"CONCLUSIONS

Among women with node-positive or high-risk node-negative breast cancer, the addition of regional nodal irradiation to whole-breast irradiation did not improve overall survival but reduced the rate of breast-cancer recurrence. (Funded by the Canadian Cancer Society Research Institute and others; MA.20 ClinicalTrials.gov number,NCT00005957.)"
