| Core Tip |
Radiation esophagitis (RE) is a common clinical symptom among patients with breast cancer receiving regional lymph node radiotherapy. RE commonly affects patients’ quality of life and can even lead to termination of treatment. Hypofractionated radiation therapy (HFRT) is becoming a common treatment for patients with breast cancer. However, there are few studies on the occurrence of RE in patients with breast cancer undergoing HFRT. This study aimed to provide clinical guidance by analyzing the clinical and dosimetric factors contributing to the development of RE in patients with breast cancer treated with HFRT to the regional lymph nodes. |
