Radiotherapy
Radiotherapy uses high-energy x-rays to destroy cancer cells. It can reduce the chance of your cancer coming back after treatment.
Whether you are offered radiotherapy depends on your breast cancer and the type of surgery you have.
If you are having radiotherapy, it will usually be given after surgery.
