A member asked:
What to do if i completed radiation therapy ( 30) treatments. will it return any time soon?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: What kind of cancer? The rates of recurrence depend on the type of cancer treated and the stage at which it was treated. For some kinds of cancer the chance of a complete cure with 30 treatments could be higher than 90%. For others the chance could be as low as 5-10%.
