The effect of escalating the boost dose for patients with involved resection margin after breast-conserving surgery.

Conclusions: A median boost dose of 15 Gy might be insufficient in patients younger than 40 years, with tumor size greater than 2 cm, or with involved radial resection margins. On the other hand, in cases of positive superficial or deep margins, dose-escalated boost or re-excision may not be necessary. PMID: 29385496 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
