Re: Breast Cancer Survival Better After Lumpectomy Than Mastectomy
They don't address this in the article, but another difference between the groups to me would be radiation, which the lumpectomy group is more likely to get. This raises the question as to whether local radiation has systemic effects. I recall discussing this with my rads onc a few years ago. She said there is a school of thought that thinks so. Who knows? Fascinating.
Hopeful
