Breast cancer study

Dr. Marleen Meyers, a medical oncologist at NYU Langone's Perlmutter Cancer Center, told four patients on Monday they will be able to forgo chemotherapy without hurting their chances of beating breast cancer, thanks to the results of a new study funded by the National Cancer Institute. The study found women with the most common form of early-stage breast cancer were getting chemo when they didn't need to be and can be better treated in other ways.
