Dosimetric and Clinical Factors Associated With Increased Risk of Reconstruction Complications in Patients With Breast Cancer Receiving Post-Mastectomy Radiation

Purpose/Objective(s)Approximately 30% of women who receive post-mastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT) in the setting of breast reconstruction suffer from reconstruction complications. This study aims to assess clinical and dosimetric factors associated with the risk of reconstruction complications after PMRT, with the ultimate goal of identifying a dosimetric constraint that can be utilized clinically to limit this risk.Materials/MethodsWe...
