DOI: 10.1002/acm2.12712
Abstract: Abstract Postmastectomy radiation therapy is technically difficult and can be considered one of the most complex techniques concerning patient setup reproducibility. Slight patient setup variations — particularly when high‐conformal treatment techniques are used — can… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jso.26916
Abstract: In patients with cT1‐T3N0 breast cancer, postmastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT) is considered a contraindication for immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) due to a high risk of complications. The sentinel node biopsy (SNB) is an important determinant… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/prs.0000000000005899
Abstract: BACKGROUND Complications from breast reconstruction may delay postmastectomy radiation therapy and impact breast cancer outcomes. The authors hypothesized that immediate breast reconstruction may be associated with delays in the initiation of radiation, but that this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/prs.0000000000006811
Abstract: Background: The objective of this study was to determine whether women with a history of radiation therapy before mastectomy experience a risk for postoperative complications and patient-reported outcomes similar to those of women undergoing postmastectomy… read more here.

DOI: 10.1245/s10434-021-10500-5
Abstract: Although postmastectomy radiation therapy is known to reduce local recurrence in patients with T1/2N1 breast cancer, some have postulated that not all patients require this treatment. In this era of genomic analyses and personalized therapy,… read more here.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of postmastectomy radiation therapy on prepectoral versus subpectoral breast reconstruction
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Frontiers in Surgery"
DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2022.1019950
Abstract: Background Prepectoral breast reconstruction has once again appealed, which attributes to the introduction of acellular dermal matrices (ADMs) and mesh. Postmastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT), meanwhile, is crucial in the whole course of treatment for breast… read more here.
