Honors- Cancer Research Article 2

This article was about another study that was done that relates to breast cancer. The study that I read about this week had to do with an alternative treatment that is more efficient and is less procedures. With the help of ultrasound, a patient is put under anesthetics, and localization is done, with a wire, but this method proved to be much more accurate.

As if it isnt bad enough to have breast cancer, it would be terrible to have to go through so many different procedures and have some of them be "un-comfortable" I think that this new development is important because not only is it fewer procedures for the patient, it also showed to be more accurate.

The best time to begin fighting cancer is at its earliest stages and if there is one treatment that works better then there (theoretically) would no cancerous cells coming back. I think that the results from this study are important because any kind of development in cancer research means a lot. The direct wire treatment helps surgeons find a very localized dissection place, and this treatment doesn't require a full radiology team, which leaves them open to help radiate peoples more serious tumors. I think this research will be valuable because it benefits everyone, patient, surgeons, radiology teams, doctors and the hospital.
