  schema:description "Low-risk patients often receive operations and radiotherapy they may not need, for example sentinel node biopsy in older women with favourable breast cancer or radiotherapy after breast-conserving surgery in genomically low-risk disease. Because no company will sponsor trials of leaving treatment out, health systems should fund them and keep the savings."@en ;
