Postmastectomy intensity modulation radiated therapy of chest wall and regional nodes: Retrospective analysis of the performance and complications up for 5 years.

TLDR
Postmastectomy treatment with the IMRT technique can reduce the incidence rate of radiation toxicity by decreasing organs at risk (OARs) irradiation and neoadjuvant chemotherapy and hypertension were the most significant risk factors for acute skin dermatitis and acute radiation induced lung injury.

Clinical Effectiveness of an Adaptive Treatment Planning Algorithm for Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy Versus 3D Conformal Radiation Therapy for Node-Positive Breast Cancer Patients Undergoing Regional Nodal Irradiation/Postmastectomy Radiation Therapy.

TL;DR: An adaptive-TPA for use of IMRT when 3D CRT does not meet critical OAR constraints resulted in rare high-grade toxicity and no difference in failure patterns between patients treated with IMRT and 3DCRT, and should provide reassurance that IMRT maintains the therapeutic ratio by preserving cancer control outcomes without excess toxicity when 3dCRT fails to meet OAR constraint.

Dosimetric parameters associated with radiation-induced esophagitis in breast cancer patients undergoing regional nodal irradiation.

TL;DR: In patients receiving RNI with modern techniques, it is found that G2E occurs in >15%, and more frequently with IMRT, and these data strongly support the routine contouring of the esophagus in RNI planning and should be incorporated in future prospective protocols of RNI.

Radiation-induced oesophagitis in breast cancer: Factors influencing onset and severity for patients receiving supraclavicular nodal irradiation.

TL;DR: The aim of this study was to determine dosimetric factors, such as mean dose and oesophageal length, which may influence the incidence and severity of Oesophagitis in breast cancer patients receiving radiotherapy to the supraclavicular nodes.
Journal ArticleDOI

The incidence of postoperative radiotherapy-induced acute dermatitis in breast cancer and its influencing factors for Chinese women.

TL;DR: Skin acute reaction in postoperative radiotherapy breast cancer patients is generally common but mild, and there are quite a few patients who need interruption or cessation of the radiotherapy process, especially for the breast-conserving patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Correlation between toxicity and dosimetric parameters for adjuvant intensity modulated radiation therapy of breast cancer: a prospective study.

TL;DR: In this paper, a prospective, observational, single-center study of the safety of adjuvant intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) was extended to a second investigating center.

Cancer statistics, 2015.

TL;DR: The overall cancer death rate decreased from 215.1 (per 100,000 population) in 1991 to 168.7 in 2011, a total relative decline of 22%.

Effects of radiotherapy and of differences in the extent of surgery for early breast cancer on local recurrence and 15-year survival: an overview of the randomised trials.

TL;DR: It is found that variations in local treatment that substantially affect the risk of locoregional recurrence could also affect long-term breast cancer mortality, and that avoidance of a local recurrence in the conserved breast is recommended.

Effect of radiotherapy after mastectomy and axillary surgery on 10-year recurrence and 20-year breast cancer mortality: meta-analysis of individual patient data for 8135 women in 22 randomised trials

TL;DR: After mastectomy and axillary dissection, radiotherapy reduced both recurrence and breast cancer mortality in the women with one to three positive lymph nodes in these trials even when systemic therapy was given.

Lymphedema secondary to postmastectomy radiation: incidence and risk factors.

TL;DR: The high incidence and debilitating effects of lymphedema must be weighed against the benefits of PMRT, and efforts to prevent lyMPhedema should be emphasized.

Breast Cancer-Related Arm Lymphedema: Incidence Rates, Diagnostic Techniques, Optimal Management and Risk Reduction Strategies

TL;DR: A review of the latest data addressing all of these concerns in order to provide patients and health care providers with optimal, contemporary recommendations is presented in this article, where a multidisciplinary approach to the management of BCRL should begin prior to definitive treatment for breast cancer employing patient-specific surgical, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy paradigms that limit risks.
