As for treatment, breast-conserving surgery followed by radiation therapy and hormonal treatment/chemotherapy depending on the type of cancer is the standard care for newly diagnosed breast cancer in elderly women.
In studies where radiotherapy was applied it lead to increase OS in MBC patients after MRM or after breast-conserving surgery but when subgroups are examined after applying MRM to tumours less than 5 cm in size and when 4 and less lymph nodes are positive its effect could not be ascertained.9 As a result in patients diagnosed with MBC, radiotherapy can be considered as adjuvant as a standard in patients with breast protection surgery and in patients with MRM.
Half had breast-conserving surgery (1337/2733; 49 per cent), half had a mastectomy (1373/2733; 50 per cent), and less than 1 per cent (16/2733 women) had no breast surgery.
The study randomised 2 016 women who had undergone breast-conserving surgery for early breast cancer to three radiotherapy treatment groups: standard 40 Gy whole-breast radiotherapy, a reduced regimen of 36 Gy to the whole breast, and 40 Gy to the tumour site only.
CairnSurgical, a Dartmouth spinoff, is developing an MRI-derived surgical guidance device, the Breast Cancer Locator, to improve the accuracy of breast-conserving surgery. The company will collaborate with Dartmouth College researchers to develop and optimize MRI imaging parameters across multiple MRI scanners and in multisite settings.

It can contribute to surgical down-staging and increase rates of breast-conserving surgery, in addition to providing an in vivo assessment of tumor response to chemotherapy (3).
