Understanding Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting women in the United States. It occurs when cells in the breast grow abnormally and form a tumor. Breast cancer can develop in different parts of the breast and can range from non-invasive (in situ) to invasive types that spread to nearby tissue.
Types of breast cancer include:
- Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) — a non-invasive early-stage cancer • Invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) — the most common type, starting in the milk ducts • Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) — starting in the milk-producing glands • Triple-negative breast cancer — a more aggressive subtype that requires specialized treatment • HER2-positive breast cancer — a subtype driven by overexpression of the HER2 protein
Understanding the type, stage, and biology of your breast cancer is the foundation of effective treatment planning, and the team at Curepoint Cancer Center brings the expertise to guide you through every step.
The Role of Radiation Therapy in Breast Cancer Treatment
Radiation therapy is one of the most important tools in breast cancer treatment, and it is often used in combination with surgery and chemotherapy. For many patients, radiation is recommended after a lumpectomy (breast-conserving surgery) to eliminate any remaining cancer cells and reduce the risk of recurrence.
At Curepoint Cancer Center, we use a Linear Accelerator — one of the most advanced radiation delivery systems available — to treat breast cancer with exceptional precision. This technology allows our oncologists to target cancer cells while minimizing exposure to healthy surrounding tissue, including the heart and lungs.
Our Approach to Breast Cancer Radiation Therapy
No two patients are the same, and neither are their treatment plans. At Curepoint Cancer Center, every breast cancer patient receives a personalized treatment plan designed around their unique diagnosis, tumor characteristics, and overall health.
Our radiation therapy services for breast cancer include:
Whole Breast Irradiation (WBI) — Traditional radiation therapy that treats the entire breast following lumpectomy. Delivered over several weeks, this approach is effective and well-studied.
Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation (APBI) — In select patients, radiation can be focused just on the region of the breast where the tumor was removed, allowing for a shorter overall treatment course.
Post-Mastectomy Radiation Therapy (PMRT) — For patients who have undergone mastectomy, radiation may be recommended to treat the chest wall and nearby lymph nodes to reduce recurrence risk.
Regional Lymph Node Irradiation — In cases where cancer has spread to the lymph nodes, targeted radiation to the lymph node regions may be part of the treatment plan.

Early Detection and Screening
One of the most powerful tools in the fight against breast cancer is early detection. Regular mammograms, clinical breast exams, and self-exams all play a role in catching cancer early, when treatment outcomes are significantly better.
If you’ve recently been diagnosed, or if you have a family history of breast cancer that puts you at higher risk, we encourage you to speak with an oncologist as soon as possible. At Curepoint Cancer Center, we are here to evaluate your situation and help you understand your options.
