After radiation therapy for breast cancer, the risk of sarcoma, lung cancer, and other breast cancers have been described in the medical literature. From France, we have reports on thousands of women treated with radiation therapy for breast cancer over the last few decades.enerally, the risk of developing a radiation induced malignancy after treatment of cancer is very small, though certainly a scary thought. Remarkably though, radiotherapy related cancers account for a small minority of second cancers which develop in patients after treatment for a first cancer.
Breast cancer radiation therapy may be used to destroy any remaining mutated cells that remain in the breast or armpit area after surgery. Note: There are special situations in which radiation is used for women with metastatic breast cancer experiencing painful bone metastasis.This section however focused on the use of radiation for adjuvant therapy (treatment given after the main treatment to lower the chance of breast cancer returning).xternal beam radiation (also known as traditional or whole breast radiation therapy) uses external beam radiation, like that of a regular x-ray, but the beam is highly focused and targets the cancerous area for two to three minutes.
