To evaluate this risk, Kirova et al. conducted a retrospective review of the records of 16,705 patients treated for nonmetastatic breast cancer (median age 55 years) who were prospectively registered in a French breast cancer database. In total, 13,472 (80.6%) patients had received RT and ...
Breast cancer and breast cancer-directed radiation therapy (RT) may increase the risk of late effects, such as hypothyroidism. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the association between breast cancer, RT, and risk of hypothyroidism in breast cancer survivors. Methods ...

Objective To study the role the left ventricle (LV) as a novel organ at risk (OAR) in postoperative intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for left-sided breast cancer patients who received breast conserved surgery (BCS) to protect the heart from unnecessary radiation.MethodsThe archived computed...
Because the heart is located on the left side of the body, radiation treatment for left-side breast cancer poses a higher risk to the heart than treatment for right-sided breast cancer, the researchers explained. They used CT scans to simulate the dose of radiation the women'...
Bringing Together Leading Breast Cancer Experts The roundtable brought together leading breast specialists from various ASEAN countries such as Thailand, the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. Dr. Jiayi Chen from China, a renowned expert in the field, also contributed to the discussions....
Therefore, it is advised that clinicians perform a breast cancer risk analysis in order to raise awareness and establish dose optimization protocols. The objective of this work is to assess the effective and breast equivalent doses during PET)/CTimaging examinations....
