  Research suggests that internal mammary node radiation for women diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer that is large and/or has spread to the lymph nodes doesn't reduce recurrence risk or improve survival.

  Research suggests that women with a higher-than-average risk of recurrence were less likely to have a recurrence if they got whole breast radiation AND lymph node radiation instead of just whole breast radiation.
