Influence of Hypofractionated Versus Conventional Fractionated Postmastectomy Radiation Therapy in Breast Cancer Patients With Reconstruction.

Purpose: We aimed to compare breast-related complications between hypofractionated adjuvant postmastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT) and conventional fractionated radiation therapy (RT) in patients with breast cancer undergoing reconstruction by reconstruction surgery type.

Methods And Materials: Data from a total of 396 patients with breast cancer who underwent breast reconstruction after mastectomy between 2009 and 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. All patients received adjuvant PMRT according to either a conventional fractionation or hypofractionation schedule.

Hypofractionated versus conventional fractionated radiotherapy for breast cancer in patients with reconstructed breast: Toxicity analysis.

Purpose: This study investigated whether hypofractionated adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) increased breast-related complication(s) compared to conventional fractionated RT in reconstructed breast cancer patients.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective review including 349 breast cancer patients who underwent immediate breast reconstruction following mastectomy or breast-conserving surgery (BCS) between 2009 and 2018 at two institutions. All patients were treated with adjuvant RT via either a conventional fractionated or hypofractionated regimen.
