What are the conditions for not radiotherapy for breast cancer?

Radiotherapy usually refers to radiation therapy. Breast cancer does not require radiotherapy, mainly including early-stage patients, radical surgery, and advanced elderly patients.

1. Early stage patients: Although breast cancer is relatively serious, it can be divided into early, middle and late stages according to clinical conditions. Early symptoms are relatively mild, the tumor is relatively small, and there is no distant metastasis and spread. If radical surgery is performed in time in the early stage and the lesion is completely removed, radiotherapy is usually not required. However, in the later stage, you need to go to the hospital for regular checkups to understand your physical condition and prevent tumor recurrence.

2. Radical surgery: If the patient is in the middle or late stage, don’t worry too much. Radical surgery can be performed in time under the guidance of a doctor, with negative margins, no distant metastasis, and no radiotherapy.

3. Late-stage elderly patients: If the disease has developed to the late stage and the patient is elderly, due to physical weakness, some patients will develop other chronic diseases as they age, such as hypertension, diabetes, cerebral infarction, etc. In this case, radiotherapy is not recommended, which will aggravate the damage to the body.

In specific situations, it is recommended that patients go to the hospital for consultation for a comprehensive analysis based on the severity of the disease and their personal constitution, and receive appropriate treatment.
