Radiotherapy

For more informations please visit http://www.leifrogersmd.com and http://www.diep-breastreconstruction.com

After mastectomy, radiotherapy is given to patients who are considered to be at risk of recurrence. Radiotherapy kills cells that are growing and has greater effects on cancer than on surrounding tissue.

After a few days of radiotherapy, the patient's skin may look red and feel a bit sore. Towards the end of treatment, there may also be some blistering of the skin.
