Does Shorter Radiation Therapy Fight Breast Cancer?
http://health.webmd.com/cgi-bin21/DM/y/e2Eu0Nec4j0IfV0BT1X0Ep
Why It Matters

cancer treatment could be cut to just one week instead of the
traditional six or seven. Could this easier course of therapy become
common? Get the details from this promising study presented at the
annual meeting of the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and
Oncology.
