Hypofractionated Radiotherapy Induced Pulmonary Function Changes and Toxicity Analysis in Breast Cancer Patients Post-mastectomy Chest Wall Irradiation
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
Pulmonary complications post-radiotherapy to chest wall are inevitable. There are plethora of studies on pulmonary complications following conventional radiotherapy delivering 50 Gy in 25 fractions boost in early stage breast cancer. However, the data on how hypofractionated regimes used post-mastectomy effects normal pulmonary tissues is still limited. In this trial we studied the impact of hypofractionated RT, used post-mastectomy, on pulmonary function tests.
