However, a new study unveiled at a Chicago meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO)<\/a> could change the standard for breast cancer treatment.

The participants were women 45 years-old and up who had been diagnosed with invasive ductal breast cancer and were undergoing breast-conserving surgery.<\/p>\n

Traditionally patients who elect for breast-conserving surgery undergo whole breast external radiation therapy for up to 6 1\/2 weeks following surgery. However, the TARGIT-A clinical trials studied the effects of targeted radiation administered during the surgery. The radiation is administered in a single dose and targets only the area of the breast with cancer instead of the whole breast. Half of the studies participants underwent the traditional post-op radiation while the other half received the targeted radiation therapy during surgery. The TARGIT-A study found that the targeted therapy group did somewhat better overall than the traditional radiation group.<\/p>\n
