New trial alert: stereotactic body radiation therapy for treatment of early stage breast cancer

A new trial sponsored by the Juravinski Cancer Centre and the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation is presently recruiting women aged 70 and over for a new experimental radiation technique to combat early stage breast cancer.  Known as stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), this treatment method delivers "large doses of radiation precisely to the tumour while avoiding critical organs, therefore destroying the cancer and avoiding surgery altogether."
