This important film presents well documented evidence that lumpectomy followed by high dose radiation is a viable alternative to mastectomy for early breast cancer. Radiologists, surgeons and cancer specialists discuss the history and development of lumpectomy and radiation therapy.
By making women aware that alternatives to radical mastectomy do exist, ONE IN ELEVEN will encourage regular self examination, early detection and prompt consultation with physicians. It provides the facts necessary for an informed decision on treatment.
