: Few studies have analyzed surgical site infections associated with hypofractionated RT. The purpose of this study was to identify risk factors for surgical site infections with a particular focus on volumetric parameters that reflect the size of the volumes treated, including tumors, surgical cavities, and breasts. : A total of 145 early breast cancer patients who were surgically staged 0-II undergoing hypofractionated RT on the whole breast were retrospectively reviewed.

Purpose: The aim of this review is to give an overview of the results of prospective and retrospective studies using allogenic reconstruction and postmastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) in breast cancer and to make recommendations regarding this interdisciplinary approach.
Materials And Methods: A PubMed search was conducted to extract relevant articles from 2000 to 2024. The search was performed using the following terms: (breast cancer) AND (reconstruction OR implant OR expander) AND (radiotherapy OR radiation).

Accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) represents a valid option for adjuvant therapy of selected early breast cancer (BC). This single-institution prospective randomized study compares the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) between women treated with the highly conformal-external beam APBI technique and those with the more commonly used moderately hypofractionated whole breast irradiation (hypo-WBI). Eligible patients were women over 50 years with early BC (G1/2 DCIS ≤ 25 mm or G1/2 invasive non-lobular luminal-like HER2 negative carcinoma ≤ 20 mm) after breast-conserving surgery with negative margins.

Introduction: Diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas are associated with dismal survival outcomes. Conventional fractionation radiation to a dose of 60 Gy is the standard of treatment. This retrospective review aims to compare survival and toxicity outcomes of patients treated with conventional fractionation (CF) and hypofractionation (HF) radiotherapy.

Breast cancer is the one of the most common cancers and causes a significant disease burden. Currently, postmastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) is indicated for breast cancer patients with higher risk of recurrence, such as those with positive surgical margins or high-risk breast cancer (T3 with positive lymph nodes, ≥4 positive lymph nodes or T4 disease). Whether PMRT should be used in intermediate-risk breast cancer (T3 with no positive lymph nodes or T1-2 with 1-3 positive lymph nodes) is contentious.
