Ladies who also attended SABCS--can somebody please post the abstract from the presentation about shorter courses of breast radiation giving equivalant efficacy with less risk compared to the typical U.S. standard and post it in this thread? I am having a hard time finding it to post and want to review it and make sure I understood the research correctly. A radiologist reviewed the session during the Alamo Breast Cancer Foundation's evening advocate mentorring session that you guys also attended and he said something like the reason the U.S. radiologists are slow to adopt this shorter standard of care is because of the money factor and radiologists not being able to bill as many weeks. I was shocked--that's plain old wrong! Can somebody please post that abstract here? It sounded like research worth examining more closely.

Thanks,

Paula
