Mounting Evidence for Postmastectomy Locoregional Radiation Therapy
Déjà vu All Over Again? Although a substantial number of women will suffer and die from breast cancer during the upcoming years, we clearly have made stepwise progress in treating patients with this cancer over the last 3 decades. Each of these steps of progress has led to what are glibly designated “paradigm shifts.” Perhaps the most hotly debated of these paradigms is the local vs systemic na...
متن کاملMounting evidence for postmastectomy locoregional radiation therapy.
Postmastectomy locoregional radiation therapy markedly reduces the risk of locoregional recurrence. Several randomized trials, including two recently updated studies with 10- to 15-year follow-up, demonstrate an improvement in overall survival with radiation therapy. This improvement is seen in patients with one to three positive axillary lymph nodes, as well those with four positive nodes. The...
متن کاملPostmastectomy Radiation Therapy: An Overview for the Practicing Surgeon
Locoregional control of breast cancer is the shared domain and responsibility of surgeons and radiation oncologists. Because surgeons are often the first providers to discuss locoregional control and recurrence risks with patients and because they serve in a key gatekeeping role as referring providers for radiation therapy, a sophisticated understanding of the evidence regarding radiotherapy in...
متن کاملConsensus Statement on postmastectomy radiation therapy.
1. Reduction in the recurrence rate of clinically detectable local-regional disease by PMRT is evident. 2. The most recent randomized controlled trials, including two well-designed trials using modern radiation techniques, have shown a moderate and statistically significant improvement in survival. 3. Consultation with a radiation oncologist should occur in postmastectomy node-positive patients...
متن کاملPostmastectomy radiation therapy for inflammatory breast cancer: is more better?
A recently published review of the literature on postmastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT) for inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) cited a range for 5-year locoregional control (LRC) after PMRT from 73% to 92% (1). Even examining only contemporary datasets, these rates of LRC are lower than those reported for non-IBC (ie, 97% at 5 years [2]), and some authors have shown directly that IBC presentatio...
