Dear shahworld:  There is NO therapy that can provide 100% guarantee that there will not be a recurrence.  There are no 100%guarantees in medicine in general - only statistically calculated risks and benefits that must be considered with each individual case with the person's physician.  In general, if a person has had a lumpectomy for invasive breast cancer, radiation therapy will likely be recommended.  The decision to do chemotherapy will depend upon the size of the invasive component of the cancer, the status of the lymph nodes, and the health of the patient, among other variables.  These decisions are best determined by a medical oncologist who has reviewed the information and met with the patient - to do a history and physical examination.  In this case, there should be a discussion with the patient's medical oncologist.  If there is concern, a second opinion is always an option.
