Toxicity evaluation of dose-escalation in hypofractionated regional nodal irradiation for breast cancer: a retrospective study

CONCLUSIONS: Patients who received dose-escalation in hypofractionated RNI face a higher risk of developing lymphedema and shoulder stiffness compared to those who received standard-dose hypofractionated RNI. Therefore, it is crucial to implement close and frequent monitoring for early detection, along with timely rehabilitation interventions for these patients.PMID:38631540 | DOI:10.1016/j.ijrobp.2024.04.014
