Summary

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays or other types of radiation to kill tumor cells. Giving radiation therapy after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. It is not yet known whether radiation therapy is more effective than observation after mastectomy in treating women with stage II breast cancer.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying radiation therapy to see how well it works compared with standard therapy in treating women with stage II breast cancer who have undergone mastectomy.
