Lumpectomy (send sample for Histopathology).After Lumpectomy we need radiation. If patient opted for Mastectomy than we can avoid radiation. Start Tab Letrazole 2.5mg

Ma'am Thank you so much for your reply, Jazzak Allah

my mother is 72.

Is radiation safe in her age?

Radiation can be omitted as per CALGB 9343 and Prime II trails ?
