Breast Cancer
Breast Cancer
Radiation therapy is commonly used after surgery to treat breast cancer. External beam radiation therapy is typically delivered to the breast, sometimes including the lymph nodes in the lower neck and armpit, over 15-30 daily treatments. The main side effect that patients experience during breast cancer radiation therapy is usually inflammation of the skin. Our team can help manage any side effect you have during treatment to make it as comfortable as possible for you. We work closely with the breast surgery and medical oncology teams at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School to coordinate your care.
