Abstract: Outcomes Following Breast Reconstruction in Patients with Prior Mantle Radiation for Treatment of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION: External beam radiation in the mantle field has been a mainstay of therapy for Hodgkin’s lymphoma for several decades. While the incidence of breast cancer in patients treated with mantle radiation is known to be elevated and mastectomy is often indicated, little has been reported regarding the outcomes of breast reconstruction in this high-risk group. The current study presents the largest series of immediate breast reconstruction in this population and aims to evaluate reconstruction outcomes and examine differences between implant-based and autologous reconstructions.
