Between 1987 and 1989 we randomly assigned 567 women with small breast cancers (< 2.5 cm in diameter) to quadr...
However, in non-academic hospitals in China, 50 Gy in 25 fractions remains the most common regimen after breast-conserving surgery (BCS). The effectiveness and potential side effects of ultrahypofractionated radiotherapy (RT) have not been reported in China. Therefore, a single-center,...
