“…66 Use of inverse-planned conformal radiation techniques in combination with deep inspiration breath hold has been demonstrated to result in a significantly lower dose to the heart, lungs, and contralateral breast, 67 as well as a favorable complication rate in patients with expander reconstruction. 68,69 Additional research is essential before more widespread adoption of such approaches, given the potential adverse consequences of low-dose exposure of large volumes of otherwise unirradiated normal structures.…”

“…Breast cancer is still the leading malignant tumor for women [1][2][3][4][5][6]. In the last few years, the treatment is improving due to new surgical techniques, new systemic therapeutic options and a better understanding of the biology of the disease [7][8][9]. Furthermore, there are also advances in the field of radiation oncology [10,11] ( Fig.…”

Radiation therapy is an integral part of the multidisciplinary management of breast cancer. Regional lymph node irradiation in younger trials seems to provide superior target coverage as well as a reduction in long-term toxicity resulting in a small benefit in the overall survival rate. For partial breast irradiation there are now two large trials available which support the role of partial breast irradiation in low risk breast cancer patients. Multiple randomized trials have established that a sequentially applied dose to the tumor bed improves local control with the cost of worse cosmetic results.

“…Despite the oncological advantages of PMRT, it has been reported to be associated with a moderate increase in complications like skin fibrosis, infection, distortion of the breast shape, volume loss, fat necrosis, implant malfunction which translates into poor cosmesis, and poor patient satisfaction [ 95 , 96 , 97 , 98 ].…”

Oncoplastic breast surgery encompasses a range of techniques used to provide equitable oncological outcomes compared with standard breast surgery while, simultaneously, prioritizing aesthetic outcomes. While the outcomes of oncoplastic breast surgery are promising, it can add an extra complexity to the treatment paradigm of breast cancer and impact on decision-making surrounding adjuvant therapies, like chemotherapy and radiotherapy. As such, early discussions at the multidisciplinary team meeting with surgeons, medical oncologists, and radiation oncologists present, should be encouraged to facilitate best patient care.
