American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) shared a post on LinkedIn:
”New post-mastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT) guidelines are here.
This guide provides a clear roadmap for oncologists, emphasizing that PMRT is crucial for most node-positive and selecting high-risk breast cancer patients.
Key takeaways:
- Moderate hypofractionation is the preferred approach.
- Deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH) is recommended for normal tissue sparing.
- Bolus should be used for specific high-risk cases, not routinely.
- These recommendations empower oncologists to deliver precise, evidence-based care and improve patient outcomes.
What are your thoughts on these new guidelines and their impact on clinical practice? Read the full article.”
