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.
Radiation is given to reduce the risk of the cancer coming back in the breast area and nearby tissue (doctors call this loco-regional recurrence). Doctors sometimes also recommend that lymph nodes near the area where the breast cancer was removed be included in the area that gets radiation.This is called regional lymph node radiation. Regional lymph node radiation may include the internal mammary lymph nodes, which are the nodes underneath the chest wall.adiation is given to reduce the risk of the cancer coming back in the breast area and nearby tissue (doctors call this loco-regional recurrence).
