All the women who suffer from localized type of breast cancer are treated either by lumpectomy surgery, radiation technique and tamoxifen. But according to the researchers, the most effective is lumpectomy surgery. The women who undergo only lumpectomy surgery are considered to be alive for more number of years than the others.
But according to a study it was found that whatever be the treatment, among the 2,000 women studied, approximately all were likely to die from other causes apart from breast cancer.
In the year mid 1980s and the early part of 1990s the NSABP revealed a final report which stated that apart from the lumpectomy, another treatment should be done which would implement a safe and an effective way to fight the cancer, especially the breast cancer.
