Introduction The first medical intervention for many breast cancer patients is breast conserving surgery (BCS) and/or modified radical mastectomy (MRM). Most of these patients undergo radiation therapy, following surgery. The most common side-effect of breast radiotherapy is skin damage. In the present study, the severity of acute skin changes and the underlying causes were investigated in pati...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We report a systematic review of lung radiation doses from breast cancer radiotherapy. METHODS AND MATERIALS Studies describing breast cancer radiotherapy regimens published during 2010-2015 and reporting lung dose were included. Doses were compared between different countries, anatomical regions irradiated, techniques and use of breathing adaptation. RESULTS 471 regi...

AIMS AND BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to compare radiotherapeutic plans based on internal target volume determined by between multiphase computed tomography and addition of a generic margin in lung tumors and to evaluate the reliability of ITV determined by multiphase computed tomography during conventional fractionated radiotherapy. METHODS AND STUDY DESIGN The radiotherapeuti...

INTRODUCTION: Silicone breast implants have been used for decades for cosmetic breast augmentation or reconstruction after mastectomy1. In selected cases, postmastectomy adjuvant radiotherapy is given with the breast implants in situ. Previous clinical studies showed that adjuvant radiotherapy may lead to several complications such as capsular contracture, infection and removal of the implant.2...

BACKGROUND Radiotherapy for breast cancer as delivered in the 1970s has been associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, but recent studies of associations with modern regimens have been inconclusive. Few data on long-term cardiovascular disease risk according to specific radiation fields are available, and interaction with known cardiovascular risk factors has not been examined. ...
