Post-mastectomy intensity modulated proton therapy after immediate breast reconstruction: Initial report of reconstruction outcomes and predictors of complications
Radiotherapy and Oncology(2019)
Abstract
•Proton therapy provides exceptional normal tissue sparing in women with reconstruction.•Like photons, proton therapy increases reconstruction complications.•Unexpectedly, hypofractionation was associated with reconstruction failure.•Further investigation of optimal dose-fractionation for reconstructed breasts is needed.
