Abstract

Radiation therapy has an integral role in the curative treatment of breast cancer. After conservative surgery for ductal carcinoma in situ or invasive carcinoma, radiation therapy of the breast improves the likelihood of locoregional freedom from disease and thereby anchances the long-term possibility of breast preservation. After mastectomy, in carefully selected patients, locoregional radiation therapy will reduce the risk of recurrence and possibly prolong survival. Therefore, clinicians caring for patients who have breast cancer require a clear understanding of the pertinent principles of radiation therapy: selection criteria, techniques of treatment, beneficial results, and side effects.
