Breast cancer patients are typically advised to avoid antiperspirants for fear of increasing radiation dermatitis in the axilla. We hypothesized that antiperspirants would have minimal effect on skin dose. We found no difference in surface dose±antiperspirants using 6MV photons at gantry angles of 0°/30°/60°/90° regardless of aluminum concentration.
乳腺癌患者通常被建议避免使用止汗剂，因为担心会加重腋窝的放射性皮炎。我们推测止汗剂对皮肤剂量的影响极小。我们发现，无论铝浓度如何，在0°/30°/60°/90°的机架角度下使用6兆伏光子时，使用止汗剂与否的表面剂量并无差异。
