Article Synopsis
- The study investigates whether hypofractionated radiotherapy (HF) results in lower rates of acute radiodermatitis than conventional normofractionated radiotherapy (CF) in breast cancer patients.
- A total of 166 patients were assessed before treatment, after treatment, and six weeks post-treatment using various scoring methods to evaluate skin reactions.
- Results indicate that the CF group experienced significantly more acute side effects at the end of treatment compared to the HF group, supporting the idea that HF may be a better option for minimizing acute skin damage in breast cancer radiotherapy.
Purpose: This study was performed to evaluate skin toxicity during modern three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) and to evaluate the importance of dose distribution and patient related factors.
Material And Methods: This study comprises 255 patients with breast cancer treated with tangential three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) after breast conserving surgery between 03/2012 and 05/2017. The median prescribed dose was 50.
