Abstract

The frequency and effect of adjuvant Radiation Therapy (RT) on overall and relative survival within the large US population was evaluated on 21,249 women's. Of 21,249 women's, 4080 received adjuvant RT and 17,169 did not receive adjuvant RT while the study also revealed a statistically significant association between improved overall and relative survival and adjuvant RT in stage IC disease.
