Background: Breast cancer patients experience acute radiation dermatitis (ARD) during radiation therapy (RT). This study investigated the prophylactic effect of a newly developed xenogeneic platelet-rich plasma (PRP) lotion on ARD for breast cancer patients.
Methods: This study enrolled patients with ductal carcinoma in situ and early-stage invasive breast cancers after breast-conserving surgery.

Purpose: Randomized trials have demonstrated similar local tumor control in patients treated with accelerated partial-breast irradiation (APBI) compared with whole-breast irradiation. However, the optimal APBI dose for maximizing tumor control and minimizing toxicity is uncertain.
Methods And Materials: We enrolled patients ≥18 years of age with grade 1 or 2 ductal carcinoma in situ or stage I invasive breast cancer and resection margins ≥2 mm between 2003 and 2011 to a sequential dose-escalation trial using 3-dimensional conformal external beam APBI giving twice daily 4 Gy fractions with total doses of 32 Gy, 36 Gy, and 40 Gy.

: 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.

This study investigated the lifetime attributable risk (LAR) of radiation-induced breast cancer from mammography screening in Dubai. It aimed to explore the relationship between breast thickness, patient age, and the associated radiation dose during mammographic examinations. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 2601 patients aged 40 to 69 across five screening facilities in Dubai's healthcare system.

Background: In patients with breast cancer, prone radiation therapy (RT) has been shown to reduce heart and lung dose. Though prone positioning is routinely used for whole breast RT, its use when treating the regional lymph nodes (RLNs) is not widespread.
Methods: In this phase I-II trial for stage IB-IIA breast cancer treated with lumpectomy or mastectomy, patients received 40.
