Has anyone heard of accelerated radiation therapy specifically for breast cancer?
You meet certain criteria, such as initial stage, tumor size, etc. 7 If it is 5 times more radiation in 1 week instead of 5 divided by 5 weeks. Do you know if you have serious side affects more 5 weeks? Success rate?
accelerated radiation: radiation schedule in which the total dose is administered over a short period of time. hyperfractionated radiation: radiation schedule which is given in smaller doses and more than once a day, but the total duration of treatment is the same.
