Join us for the first part of this 2 part masterclass in breast radiotherapy.

Breast radiotherapy is a major component of breast cancer treatment. It forms a large part of all radiotherapy delivered across cancer centres.

After removal of a breast tumour radiotherapy is offered to reduce the chance of local relapse of the cancer.

We talk to Professor Mark Beresford who is chair of the UK Breast Group about how breast radiotherapy has gone from 5 weeks of treatment to 1 week.

We talk about side effects and when we offer an extra radiotherapy boost to the area the tumour was.

We also discuss radiotherapy for reducing the risk of disease in the axilla (armpit) and the current surgery versus radiotherapy debate for that area.

This is a must listen for anyone wanting to learn more about breast radiotherapy.
