Post-mastectomy radiotherapy

ASCO have produced recommendations on the requirements for postmastectomy chest wall irradiation in patients with T1-2 tumours and 1-3 positive axillary nodes or patients with a positive sentinel node who do not undergo further axillary surgery. Recommendations for axillary radiotherapy in patients who have received neoadjuvant systemic treatment and for irradiation of internal mammary nodes and the supraclavicular fossa are also presented.
