Over the past five decades, radiotherapy (RT) has become an integral part in the combined modality management of breast cancer. Although its significant effect on local control has been long demonstrated, only recently has adjuvant RT been shown to have a significant effect on breast cancer mortality and overall survival. This article summarizes the adjuvant role of RT after mastectomy and lumpectomy, as well as the rationale and techniques for partial-breast irradiation.
在过去的五十年里，放射治疗（RT）已成为乳腺癌综合治疗不可或缺的一部分。尽管其对局部控制的显著效果早已得到证实，但直到最近辅助性放射治疗才被证明对乳腺癌死亡率和总生存率有显著影响。本文总结了乳房切除术后和肿块切除术后放射治疗的辅助作用，以及部分乳腺照射的基本原理和技术。
