Researchers in Israel led by Eyal Fenig from the Rabin Medical Center in Petah Tikva studied 23 women with localized breast cancer who underwent breast-conserving surgery and received adjuvant radiation to destroy any tumor cells left behind. Each day after their radiation therapy, the women applied an active vitamin D analog called calcipotriol (Daivonex) to half of their irradiated breast and a skin-hydrating, urea-containing ointment called Aqua cream to the other half of the same breast.
