p53 and radiation therapy
Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone's radiation oncologist advised that they won't go ahead with radiotherapy until genetic testing is done? I'm 30, stage 2a grade 3 bc, with no family history of cancer ...
@Mrs_H Yes my surgeon also said it wouldn't change my current treatment but I planned a bilateral mastectomy. Maybe the question is related to ? the risk of skin cancer ...as some gene positive are...or might be related to final treatment decisions...ie if positive would you have mastectomy?. ..Because you might not need radiotherapy in that case ..and it can impact on reconstruction options.
