External radiation therapy is often prescribed after breast-conserving therapy or mastectomy (once the area has a chance to heal) to kill any cancer cells that may still be in the breast, chest wall or surrounding lymph nodes.
Breast cancer surgery may include surgery to remove cancer from the breast and lymph nodes from under the arm.
Breast Conserving Therapy
This therapy involves removing the primary cancer from the breast (also called a "lumpectomy," "wide excision," "partial mastectomy," or "quadrantectomy") while leaving the rest of the breast intact.

Adrenal cancer can occur at any time in a person’s life. It is extremely rare -- about one in a million people face the disease. But with an average five-year survival rate of just 51%, it presents a grave threat to patients. The need to advance new therapies, discovery research, and medical and science education is great.
