Twin Cities Live: Fast Forward Breast Radiation Therapy

Breast cancer radiation therapy treats cancer by using high energy x-rays to target and eliminate cancer cells. Breast radiation therapy can be used as a part of treatment for almost every stage of breast cancer. 

Short-course radiation regimens are proving to be safe and effective as radiation treatment for breast cancer. With these techniques, radiotherapy is completed in just days, instead of over many weeks, as has historically been the experience of patients with breast cancer.

Dr. Ryan Youland from Minnesota Oncology stopped by Twin Cities Live to explain Fast Forward Breast Radiation therapy.
