New fractionations in breast cancer: a dosimetric study of 3D-CRT versus VMAT. [PDF]
J Med Radiat Sci, 2022 AbstractIntroductionAdjuvant radiation therapy (RT) following primary surgery in women affected by early breast cancer (EBC) plays a central role in reducing local recurrences and overall mortality. The FAST‐FORWARD trial recently demonstrated that 1‐week hypofractionated adjuvant RT is not inferior to the standard schedule in terms of local relapse ...
