Effect of radiotherapy after mastectomy and axillary surgery on 10-year recurrence and 20-year breast cancer mortality: meta-analysis of individual patient data for 8315 women in 22 randomised trials. Lancet 2014; 383: 2127-2135.
Published: 13th November 2014
Authors: Early Breast Cancer Trialists Collaborative Group
Conclusion
This meta-analysis of 22 trials included 3786 women. Radiotherapy reduced both local recurrence and breast cancer-related mortality (relative risk 0.8, 95 per cent confidence interval 0.67 to 0.95) in women with 1-3 positive axillary nodes, even when additional systemic therapy was given.
