Radiation therapy plays an important role in the multidisciplinary management of breast
cancer. Recent years have seen improvements in breast cancer survival and a greater …

ABSTRACT The 14th St Gallen International Breast Cancer Conference (2015) reviewed
substantial new evidence on locoregional and systemic therapies for early breast cancer …

Background The effect of internal mammary and medial supraclavicular lymph-node
irradiation (regional nodal irradiation) added to whole-breast or thoracic-wall irradiation after …

Purpose It is unknown whether irradiation of the internal mammary lymph nodes improves
survival in patients with early-stage breast cancer. A possible survival benefit might be offset …

Decreasing the burden of radiation therapy (RT) for breast cancer includes, next to complete
omission, several ways to tailor the extent of RT. Possible options for this include lowering of …

Background and purpose Delineation of clinical target volumes (CTVs) is a weak link in
radiation therapy (RT), and large inter-observer variation is seen in breast cancer patients …

PURPOSE The Danish Breast Cancer Group Internal Mammary Node study demonstrated
improved 8-year overall survival (OS) with internal mammary node irradiation (IMNI) in …

Background Radiotherapy has become much better targeted since the 1980s, improving
both safety and efficacy. In breast cancer, radiotherapy to regional lymph nodes aims to …

Background To assess the relationship between radiation doses to the coronary arteries
(CAs) and location of a coronary stenosis that required intervention after three-dimensional …

PURPOSE To evaluate the safety and efficacy of proton beam radiation therapy (RT) for
patients with breast cancer who require regional nodal irradiation. METHODS Patients with …
