Breast cancer treatment after Surgery

[Abmishra]

My mothers Breast Cancer Biopsy report says

ER- Positive(9/9) 90% nuclear staining with strong intensity
PR- Weakly Positive(2/9) 5% nuclear staining with weak intensity
Cerb-2 Negative

Impression:
Left modified redical mastectomy:
Infilrating ductal carcinoma grade III with metastasis to regional  lymph nodes.


Will the new invented "Single-Dose Breast Cancer Radiation Therapy" be effective for her

As per the news I have read in the URL "http://www.themedguru.com/20100610/newsfeature/single-dose-radiation-treat-breast-cancer-86136362.html"

No, she will need chest wall and probably axillia radiation, maybe neck also. The radiation you are refffering to is for small tumor and lumpectomies with no nodal invovlement.

For others seeing on this question by Abmisha, I am repeating my reply below:

The use of "Sinlge-Dose Breast Cancer Radiation" (used ONLY at the time of breast conserving BC surgery) is promising, but still largely investigational.

So that you do not feel bad that this advancement in BC cancer treatment was not available in time for use with your mother, let me also point that it is only inidicated for  with people with one tumor and no spread to the lymph nodes, so your mother would not have been a candidate for this type of treatment in any case.

Rest assured that your mother is being given the best treatment for her type, stage, and grade of BC.

Best wishes to you both...
