A member asked:
Can laser treatment help? i had breast cancer and they would not give me radiation because of the tumors. they said it would be worse? can it help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need more info: I am not sure that i understand your question. Radiation therapy is used for some breast cancer conditions, but is not needed or indicated for everyone. Treatments depend in the size and stage of breast cancer & cell type. Surgery is often used to remove the tumor, and often hormone or chemotherapy. There would be no "laser treatment" for breast cancer that I am aware of.
