Targeted radiation shortens treatment

Physicians at the Texas Cancer Clinic in San Antonio and across the nation report good cosmetic results and few reoccurrences of breast cancer with a technique called MammosSite Targeted Radiation Therapy.

Nearly 500 women have undergone the therapy at the clinic since 2002, when MammosSite was approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Nationwide, 35,000 women have had the procedure, according to Hologic, maker of MammoSite.
