Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in India, and adjuvant radiotherapy is an integral part of curative treatment in most patients. The recent decades have witnessed several advances in radiation therapy delivery. Several advances in radiation oncology have been identified which include technological advances, change in fractionation used, use of cardiac-sparing radiotherapy as well as efforts to personalize radiotherapy using accelerated partial breast irradiation or avoidance of radiotherapy in certain subpopulations. Indian data are available in most areas which have been summarized. However, increasing emphasis on research in these areas is needed so that effectiveness and safety in our setting can be established. Advances in breast cancer radiotherapy have resulted in improved outcomes. Data published from India suggest that these improved outcomes can be replicated in patients when appropriate treatment protocols are followed.
在印度,乳腺癌是女性中最常见的癌症,辅助放疗是大多数患者治愈治疗的一个组成部分。近几十年来,放射治疗技术有了多项进展。放射肿瘤学的进展包括技术进步、分割方式的改变、心脏保护放疗的应用以及使用加速部分乳腺照射或避免某些亚群接受放疗来实现放疗个体化。印度在大多数领域都有相关数据,这些数据已经被总结出来。然而,需要更加重视这些领域的研究,以便在我们的环境中确定其有效性和安全性。乳腺癌放疗的进展带来了更好的结果。来自印度的数据表明,当遵循适当的治疗方案时,这些改善的结果可以在患者中复制。
