rather than secondary to evidence suggesting lack of ben­et. What is known is that breast cancer in the elderly postmenopausal patient tends to be prole favorable and more likely indolent and, thus, this may be the subgroup to benet most from every other year imaging.42 Fur­ther, if a woman’s overall health is poor, such that her life expectancy is less than 5 years, it is very reasonable to forgo all breast imaging, as death from breast cancer is not a signicant concern. However, in an otherwise healthy 70-year-old woman, actuary studies would sug­gest another 16.5 years of life, making every other year mammography very reasonable and a worthwhile inter­vention.43 Twenty-six percent of breast cancer deaths are in women over the age of 75, and yet 50% of women over age 80 are expected to live another 10 years. For this reason, every other year screening mammograms should be performed in average-risk women over the age of 70 in reasonably good health. 
High-Risk Screening
is could easily be a chapter unto itself, but briey a woman qualies for high-risk screening when her lifetime risk of breast cancer exceeds 20–30%. High-risk screening is usually dened as staggered annual 3D mammogram and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or whole breast ultrasound. ere are several factors that increase a woman’s risk for breast cancer. Genetic predisposition is responsible for 10–15% of breast cancers, and penetrance varies widely by the both the gene and het­erogeneity.44 is would include the well-recognized BRCA1 and 2 mutations,45 with lifetime risk of 50–85% and 45%, respectively. and CHEK2 (Li-Fraumeni syndrome), PTEN (Cowden and Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndromes), CDH1 (hereditary diuse gastric cancer), STK11 (Peutz-Jeghers syndrome), PALB2 (interacts with BRCA2), and ATM (ataxia-telangiec­tasia) genes.
ere are also those women with very strong family his­tories of breast cancer without a recognizable mutation, sometimes called gene X.48 Here, familiarity may be the key rather than genetics, and a nding of two or more rst­degree relatives with breast cancer, especially those diagnosed at a young age, remains signicant. Exposure to mantle or chest radiation at a young age also signicantly increases the risk of breast cancer, starting approximately 8 years post­XR T.
A personal history of breast cancer is a risk factor for breast cancer, but clearly every woman with a history of breast cancer does not need high-risk screening. A meta­analysis of 10,801 women treated with lumpectomy/BCT found a 10-year recurrence rate of 19.3% and a 15-year can­cer death rate of 21.4%.51 Overall, radiotherapy reduced the 10-year risk of any (i.e., locoregional or distant) rst recur­rence from 35% to 19.3% (absolute reduction, 15.7%) and reduced the 15-year risk of breast cancer death from 25.2% to 21.4% (absolute reduction, 3.8%); radiotherapy reduced the absolute recurrence risk at 10 years from 31.0% to
49,50
46,47
Other less common mutations include TP53
15.6% and absolute mortality rate from 20.5% to 17.2%. In women with node-negative (pN0) disease, the absolute recurrence reduction varied according to age, grade, ER sta­tus, tamoxifen use, and extent of surgery, and these char­acteristics were used to predict large (20%), intermediate (10–19%), or lower (<10%) absolute reductions in the 10-year recurrence risk.
Based on a paper published in 2018 in the Journal of
the American College of Radiology by Debra Monticciolo and Michael Hassett out of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Brigham & Women’s Hospital, the take-home keys for high-risk screening are52:
1. For women with genetics-based increased risk (and their untested rst-degree relatives) or those with a calculated lifetime risk of 20% or more, high-risk imaging should be performed annually beginning at age 30.
2. For women with histories of chest radiation therapy before the age of 30, high-risk imaging should be per­formed annually beginning at age 25 or 8 years after radiation therapy, whichever is later.
3. For women with genetics-based increased risk (and their untested rst-degree relatives), histories of chest radia­tion (cumulative dose of 10 Gy before age 30), or a cal­culated lifetime risk of 20% or more, breast MRI should be performed annually beginning at age 25–30.
4. For women with personal histories of breast cancer and dense breast tissue, or those diagnosed before age 45, high-risk imaging is recommended.
5. For women with personal histories not included in the previous items, or with ADH, atypical lobular hyperpla­sia, or LCIS, high-risk imaging should be considered, especially if other risk factors are present. 
Conclusions and Current Imaging Guidelines Per Society
Due to the continued controversy on when screening should begin, the ACS and the USPSTF formed panels to revisit the question and their recommendations. e lat­est update from the USPSTF 2015,53 although relaxing on their overall stance, continues to recommend biannual screening mammography starting at age 50. Further, the ACS guidelines are somewhat confusing recommending annual screening starting at age 40 as a “qualied recom­mendation,” described as “e majority of individuals in this situation would want the suggested course of action, but many would not.”
e main reason for recommending screening starting
at age 50 rather than 40 was to reduce the number of “false positives” dened as imaging recalls and “unnecessary” or benign biopsies. However, they failed to dene what is acceptable in the context of lives lost (i.e., how many recalls avoided is equivalent to one death). As stated earlier, the National Cancer Institute’s CISNET, which was used by both panels, shows that, if women in their 40s wait until age 50 to start screening mammograms and then are screened

every other year, as many as 100,000 lives will be lost that could have been saved by annual screening starting at age
40.53 Waiting until age 45 to begin annual screening and then shifting to biennial screening at age 55 would result in more than 38,000 women currently in their 40s unnecessar­ily dying from breast cancer.
35
Approximately 10% of women undergoing screening mammography will require “something” more. Half will be told everything is good after additional imaging (mam­mogram and/or ultrasound). Approximately 25% (2.5% of those screened) are asked to return in 6 months for a short interval follow-up, and approximately 20% (2% of women screened) will be advised to undergo minimally invasive, imaging-guided needle biopsy.54 Among these women, 20–40% will be found to have cancer.
55
Much of this controversy is supported by the idea of “overdiagnosis,” the nding and treating of malignancies that were never destined to cause death. is is seen with some favorable, low-grade DCIS. However, invasive breast cancer left alone will grow into a palpable cancer, with lethal capability.
33,56
In Harvard’s two largest teaching hospitals, more than 70% of women dying of breast cancer did not perform regular screening mammograms, including women in their 40s.
57
e death rate from breast cancer remained unchanged from the 1940s to the 1980s when screening mammogra­phy was rst introduced. By the 1990s, we began to see the death rate drop, and today 36% fewer women die each year from breast cancer.58 Male breast cancer remains relatively stable, with higher overall mortality secondary to more advance stage at diagnosis, as tumors are not identied until palpable and often symptomatic.

Radiation Therapy Considerations and Oncoplastic Breast Surgery
KENNETH L. FAN AND MAURICE Y. NAHABEDIAN
Introduction
e surgical treatment of breast cancer has undergone a paradigm shift and evolved from the Halsted radical mas­tectomy to the simple mastectomy and now includes breast conservation therapy (BCT). BCT is dened as local exci­sion of the primary tumor (i.e., lumpectomy, quadran­tectomy) or breast-conserving surgery (BCS) followed by radiation therapy (RT). BCT was ushered into standard of care by six large randomized prospective trials demon­strating equivalent survival rates with BCT compared with mastectomy in early disease. a critical component of the treatment regimen by reduc­ing the recurrence rate by 50% and reducing breast cancer deaths by 16% after BCS. are tumor eradication, prolonging survival, and maximizing quality of life with oncoplastic strategies.9

RT has been shown to be
7,8
e goals of therapy with BCT
Biological Basis of Radiation in Treatment of Breast Cancer
RT is dened as the delivery of ionizing energy to control malignancy while limiting damage to surrounding normal tissues. Two major methods of radiation delivery are avail­able: (1) External Beam Radiation erapy (EBRT) and (2) Brachytherapy. EBRT delivers high-energy photon or elec­tron x-ray beams to tissue from outside the body. Brachy­therapy delivers lower energy radiation within the patient’s body to treat the volume of tissue in the immediate vicinity.
Ionizing radiation as a therapeutic modality underwent rapid growth in the early part of the 20th century when Regaud demonstrated that certain internal reproductive cells may be targeted without causing major burns to the skin.10 e overarching goal is to optimize the “therapeutic ratio,” a risk benet analysis of healthy versus cancerous tissue, when planning a radiotherapy regimen. e eect of radiation is known as the continuum, which describes the sequence of events that occur when ionizing energy is directed at a cell.11
Strong circumstantial evidence suggests cellular damage is a result of direct action of charged particles or free radical formation leading to DNA damage.12 At the later end of the continuum, reproductive integrity is lost when DNA is unrepairable or mis-rejoined, leading to cell death over hours to years. Tumor control is achieved when clonogenic cells are destroyed or otherwise unable to maintain growth.
Based on the theoretical radiobiological modeling of the dose response of normal tissue compared with cancer cells, conventional fractionation divides the total radiation into several smaller doses over a period of several days to impart less toxic side eects on late responding healthy cells.13 Cel­lular damage is regulated by the 4Rs of radiotherapy: repair of sublethal damage between dose fractions, reassortment of cells into more sensitive stages of the cell cycle, reoxygen- ation of tumor cells for increased sensitivity, and repopula- tion of the surviving fraction due to cell division. 
Radiation in Breast Conservation Therapy and Invasive Ductal Carcinoma
BCT has become an alternative to mastectomy for most patients with early stage invasive ductal carcinoma. is is possible with modern multimodal patient selection and treatment. Indications for BCT are as follows (Table 20.1)9:
Early Stage Tumor/Tumor Size
e majority of trials demonstrating equivalent outcomes to mastectomy had upper size limit of 2–4 cm, ers permitted an upper limit of 5 cm. stage III, neoadjuvant chemotherapy should be considered before BCS. signicantly higher than those initially candidates for BCT (14.5% vs 6.9%).15 With improved patient selection and coordination among specialties, the locoregional control has been shown to be equal in those who do and do not receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Unifocal Disease
Historically, multifocal (two or more tumors in the same quadrant) and multicentric (two or more tumors in the separate quadrant or 4–5 cm apart) disease has been considered a contraindication to BCT, with his­torical ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence (IBTR) rates of 20–40%.18 However, studies with carefully selected patients demonstrate IBTR rates at 10 years are com­parable to mastectomy.19 These tumors tended to be multifocal, smaller (1 cm), without extensive ductal carcinoma in-situ (DCIS), and in older women. Clear margins are paramount, as positive margins and low­grade tumors were the strongest predictors of IBTR (see “Inability to Achieve Clear Margins”). 
Patient Preference/Compliance
Patients presenting for BCT must be motivated to pre­serve the breast and be willing to adhere to the radio­therapy regimen to follow. Historically, no difference was seen in psychological adjustment between BCT and mastectomy, but improved body image and sexual function were seen in BCT cohorts. with the BreastQ questionnaire found breast conserva­tion without reconstruction to be associated with lower physical well-being in the chest area, sexual well-being, and overall satisfaction compared with mastectomy and reconstruction, possibly due to resulting asymme­try and radiation effect (Fig. 20.1).22 The addition of oncoplastic breast reconstruction results in high level of long-term satisfaction, improved quality of life, and self­esteem.
23-25
Patients should be offered reconstruction when available and necessary (see “Inadequate Aesthetic Outcome”).
Certain situations make BCT untenable due to the con­sequences associated with radiation.9 e conditions are as follows (Table 1):

Inability to Achieve Clear Margins
Margins, based on the recommendations of consensus statements, are dened as invasive cancer on inked mar­gins, the presence of which results in a twofold to three­fold increase in IBTR (Table 20.2).

is increase is not nullied by a boost of radiation, systemic therapy, or favorable biology.27 So long as negative margins are achieved, consensus statements agree that routinely obtaining wider margins does not necessarily result in decreased risk of IBTR.27 However, when close margins present in younger patients with extensive intraductal component (EIC), re-excision may be benecial.27 Tumor distribution, shape, or proximity to the chest wall may preclude the ability to achieve negative margins. e likelihood of this occurrence is increased with multicen­tric disease. Persistent positive margin after reasonable surgical attempts may be an indication to convert to a mastectomy.
Further dierentiation can be made between exten­sively positive and focally positive margins, which is dened as tumor involvement in three or fewer low-power microscopic elds. e risk of 8-year IBTR among excised tumors with focally positive margins was only marginally increased and further mitigated by systemic therapy.28 ese patients may still be candidates for BCT. Clinical consideration of re-excision and additional adjuvant sys­tematic therapy is warranted if focal margin involvement is present.29 
Pregnancy
WBI should be avoided in pregnant women due to the risk of mutagenesis to the developing embryo. Application of accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) is still con­troversial and not routinely performed. Oftentimes, the

• Re-excision is not recommended for <2 mm margin after lumpectomy for invasive cancer, with or without DCIS. Re-excision is decided on by case, depending on number of close margins, location of margin, and radiation therapy
• When there is no ink on the tumor, wider margins do not lower risk of IBTR
• No evidence of increased margin exists for patients 40 years old
• Recurrence after positive margin is not mitigated by radiation boost, favorable biology, or systemic therapy
• Negative margin is defined as no ink on tumor, as defined in the SSO/ASTRO guideline
• It may be reasonable to treat select cases of focally positive margins with a radiation boost
• Endorses SSO/ASTRO guidelines
• Emphasis on postlumpectomy mammography in cases with microcalcifications
pregnancy delays diagnosis of breast cancer, and patients present with larger tumors necessitating mastectomy. How­ever, should the tumor characters allow BCT and the preg­nancy allows for excision, radiation may be delayed until after delivery (see “Timing”).30 
Prior Chest Irradiation
Patients with a prior history of irradiation (breast cancer, Hodgkin’s lymphoma) are generally ineligible for BCT as total tolerable dose of the previously irradiated tissue will likely be exceeded. In such scenarios, the standard of care is mastectomy; however, case reports have been described with APBI in patients refusing mastectomy.31 
Collagen Vascular Disease
Many radiation oncologists will not treat patients with col­lagen vascular disease.32 ere is an increased incidence in severe acute toxicity with RT delivered to the breast, pre­senting as severe desquamation. Coordination of radiation oncology and rheumatology is necessary should BCT be pursued. 
Inadequate Aesthetic Outcome
Patients with micromastia and a large tumor present a unique surgical challenge for BCT. Lack of reconstruc­tion after BCT results in distortion, asymmetry, and lower physical and sexual well-being.22 Unfortunately, women with micromastia may be automatically triaged to mas­tectomy without full understanding of the options.33
Fig. . The biplanar technique is illustrated on the right breast that
included placement of a 100-mL implant (volume replacement) and parenchymal redistribution (volume displacement).
Oncoplastic techniques have been described that combine volume displacement and replacement in a single proce­dure. Plastic surgery consultation should be considered when >10% breast volume loss is anticipated.34 Techniques for volume replacement include glandular tissue rearrange­ments, biplanar implant placement, and local and free aps (Fig. 20.2).
33,35,36
ese reconstructions mitigate volume loss and have been shown to result in high levels of patient satisfaction and improved quality of life.
23-25,33
Consulta­tion with plastic surgery should also be pursued with a sub­areolar position of the tumor or when the resulting scar is in a poor orientation.

vious breast augmentation are demonstrated depicting contracture, distortion, and asymmetry.
Prior Breast Augmentation
Prior breast augmentation has typically precluded BCT due to poor cosmetic outcome. Nahabedian etal in a retrospective review of 48 cases found patients with prior augmentation are more likely to undergo mastectomy (72.9%) compared with BCT (57%) with signicantly lower rates of BCT (25.5% vs 43%), despite comparable disease stage.37 Tumors in augmented patients were more likely detected when smaller in diameter but less likely to be detected on screening mammography. Studies have demonstrated increased complications following BCT in the setting of prior breast augmentation, including ero­sion, pain, and capsular contracture that range from 30–65%, despite optimized radiation dosimetry (Fig. 20.3).
38-40
half of the patients required implant removal demonstrating that, even with modern radiotherapeutic techniques, the inci­dence of capsular contracture and poor cosmesis remains high.
e following conditions require special consideration: 
Age
Although age is not a contraindication in and of itself, a meta-analysis of trials indicates that, of women who under­went BCT, those who were <40 years old had a 5.9% per year chance of IBTR, a 2.7% per year for 40–49 years, a
1.9% per year for 50–59 years, a 1.6% for 60–69 years, and 1.0% for 70 years. Locoregional recurrence and mor­tality are similarly high in mastectomy among younger women.
41,42
is may be in part due to the higher incidence of adverse tumor biology.43 However, large cohort studies indicate improved survival may be seen in women >50 years and those with comorbidity not treated with chemotherapy when comparing BCT to mastectomy.44 
Nodes
Patients with positive axillary nodes do not have an increased incidence of IBTR compared with patients with

tion of the right breast with a symmetry reduction mammaplasty on the left.
positive nodes.45 In fact, a large cohort study found benet of BCT for T2N1 versus T2N0, perhaps due to the use of systemic therapy for node-positive patients.44 Patients with extracapsular node involvement do not have an increased risk of IBTR.46 
Extensive Intraductal Component
Patients with EIC warrant careful consideration. EIC is dened as intraductal carcinoma (DCIS) prominently pres­ent within the borders of the primary tumor (when DCIS comprises 25% or more of the tumor or present within all visualized ducts) and when intraductal carcinoma is pres­ent in adjacent tissue, either as an extension beyond the inltrating margin or as separate foci in grossly normal adjacent tissue.47 Negative margins are dicult to achieve with diuse microcalcications, despite en bloc incisions.48 So long as positive margins are achieved, IBTR are miti­gated in tumors with EIC.49 Postoperative mammogra­phy can be helpful in identifying residual calcications for re-excision.27 
Large Breasts
BCT in large breasts has been demonstrated to have sig­nificantly inferior cosmetic result compared with small breasts due to the larger skin folds resulting in dose inho­mogeneity and increased skin toxicity. women were found to have late radiation changes in 39% of cases, compared with 6% in women with small breasts. However, this does not preclude large-breasted women from receiving BCT. An oncoplastic therapeu­tic mammaplasty may be performed in conjunction with adjuvant radiation to improve cosmetic outcome (Fig.
20.4).53

Whole Breast Irradiation
External Beam Radiation Therapy (Whole Breast Irradiation)
e diversity of clinical indications for breast radiotherapy contributes to the diversity in the characteristics of EBRT. Electron EBRT travels a nite depth within the soft tissue, and surface dose increases with increasing electron energy. As such, electron EBRT is useful for supercial treatment of chest wall and internal mammary nodes or when a limited area surround­ing a defect requires a boost dose after WBI. Photon beams penetrate greater depths, with theoretical less total radiation dose to the skin. e majority of patients receiving EBRT are treated with tangential photon elds. Cobalt machines deliv­ering photons were historically the main modality in which many of the initial trials were based on. Disadvantages include less precisely dened beam edge irradiating surrounding tissue (penumbra), poor delivery to deeper tissues, and sta expo­sure. Over the past 25 years, linear accelerators (LINACS) have replaced cobalt machines due to the rates of secondary malig­nancies and heart disease.54 LINACS, with modern modica­tions, are designed to deliver precise doses of radiation in a wide range of beam energies with limited personnel exposure.

Timing after Surgery
e optimal timing of RT after surgery is unknown, although 6–8 weeks is the generally agreed upon upper

limit.
Huang etal in a systematic review found 1.62 higher odds of IBTR when radiotherapy was administered >8 weeks after surgery.57 e absolute increase in the risk of IBTR is 1.0% per month delay in starting radiotherapy.58 Delays >3 months are associated with increased mortality.59 When chemotherapy is required, no dierence in IBTR or survival has been found if WBI occurs before or after treat­ment, so long as RT is begun within 7 months from sur-

Staggering treatment is preferred over concurrent

Radiation Dosage: Standard Fractionation versus Hypofractionation
e schedule for standard fractionated WBI, daily doses of 2 Gy in 5 weeks for a total dose of 45–50 Gy, have been established by previous trials (Table 20.3). assists in locoregional control of the disease, eliminating potential microdisease, reducing the IBTR rates such that it is equivalent to mastectomy.62 e rationale for delivery of such dosages is based on dogma that has suggested normal tissue was more sensitive to larger fraction size. erefore, smaller daily fractions induce irreparable damage to malig­nant tumor DNA (which typically lack repair mechanisms) with less collateral injury to surrounding tissues.
Studies with >10 year follow-up have suggested that breast cancer cells have similar dose response curve rates to radia­tion when compared with native tissue.

Delivery of
Radiation Boost
Additional radiation treatment or a “boost” delivered to the lumpectomy excision site after WBI has been shown in EORTC randomized control trials to decrease the risk of IBTR, but not mortality, through 20 year follow-up com­pared with WBI alone.68 ese eects were most pronounced in women 40 years, who are at greater risk for IBTR. Boost did not modify mortality risk in these patients. However, radi­ation boost increased the incidence of severe breast brosis by vefold compared with patients who did not receive a boost.68 is trial did not assess margin status. Although patients with close margins may benet from increased doses, the literature and consensus statements are mixed in this regard.29 
Partial Breast Irradiation
Broadly speaking, partial breast irradiation may be delivered as APBI or intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT).
Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation
APBI focuses radiation to 1–2 cm of tissue surrounding tumor beds considered to be high risk and is directed to where IBTR usually occurs (Fig. 20.5).61 APBI may be delivered with brachytherapy or external beam radiation.69 Brachytherapy requires specic equipment and infrastruc­ture. Interstitial therapy is a complex technique where multiple rows of catheters are left protruding out of the skin for 1 week. Delivery of radiation doses requires dedi­cated suites to protect personnel. Applicator-based brachy­therapy relies in commercially available device to deliver

radiation. is device may be placed intraoperatively or as a second procedure. Multilane applicators have permitted varying doses to reduce radiation exposure to normal tis­sue. Studies, although promising, are limited in size and design. 
3D Conformal Therapy
3D conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT) represents the rst of conforming techniques, referring to radiotherapy that is able to “conform” to the target shapes and poten­tially delivering complex dosages within targets while mini­mizing inadvertent damage to normal tissue (Table 20.4).70 In this forward-planning technique, treatment parameters (number of beams, intensity, shape, angle) are decided, and the resulting dose distribution is calculated and evaluated. is technique allows for improved spatial distribution of dose, but normal tissues may not be completely excluded.71 Treatment dose is delivered over the course of 5–7 days in 10 fractions that are delivered twice a day with at least 6 hours between each course for a total dosage of 35–38.5

CT, Computed tomography.
Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy
Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) repre­sents the next evolution of conforming techniques. Two key additional features are seen that include nonuniform intensity of radiation beams as well as computerized inverse planning.71 e complex intensity distribution of the indi­vidual beams diers from 3D-CRT, where beams are uni­form. Inverse planning involves rst selecting the desired distribution of dosages. e radiation oncologist denes critical organs and tumors on imaging, slice by slice, and the planner determines the target doses for each. An opti­mization program is run to nd suitable treatment param­eters best matching all criteria. is aords highly complex target conformity, such as that required for radiation treat­ment of tumors wrapped in the central nervous system. With this technique, normal tissue is spared, and missing tissue, such as lumpectomy defects, may be compensated for. However, there is an increase in clinician time for tar­get and treatment planning, and an increase in total body irradiation dose.
Data for IMRT is still pending. Some trials indicate low toxicity, IBTR, and satisfactory breast aesthetics, yet others found suboptimal, declining cosmesis.

source or electrons may be delivered at the time of surgery, or as a second procedure. Advantages include minimization of dose to normal tissue and patient convenience. However, remedial WBI may be needed in a cohort of patients, as the nal pathology status is unknown at the time of surgery. ere is also an inability to verify dose and volumes of tissue treated. Two large trials have compared IORT delivery sys­tems to WBI: the ELIOT trial examined electron beams91 or TARGIT with low-energy x-rays.92 Both trials have found an increased rate of IBTR compared with WBI. However, women who met the “suitability” criteria had a low rate of IBTR of 1.5% in the ELIOT trial (see Table 20.5). Contro- versy has been raised of the TARGIT trial design and their denition of noninferiority.93 ere were increased rates of fat necrosis but lower rates of skin brosis.82 Lung brosis
was lower in the ELIOT trial and deaths from cardiovascu­lar causes in the TARGIT trial in the IORT cohorts, indi­cating improved critical organ sparing.
ASTRO recommendation, as a result of the ELIOT trial, is that electron IORT should be limited to women with invasive cancer of the suitable category (see Table 20.5).82 Use of low-energy x-ray, based on the TARGIT trials and its ensuing controversy, should be restricted to clinical trials; only women with invasive cancer in the suitable category should be enrolled. Furthermore, patients should be coun­seled that IBTR is higher in both IORT methods based on the results from the trials’ data. 
Management of Side Effects
Based on the radiobiological continuum, complications as a result of RT can occur from hours to days to years. e con­sequences of radiation exposure to normal tissue includes, but is not limited to, fatigue, myelosuppression, radiation dermatitis, poor cosmesis of breast tissue, long-term chest wall or soft tissue complications (i.e., pain, decreased range of motion, rib fractures, brachial plexopathy), pulmonary eects, cardiac complications, and radiation-related second malignancies (listed from most to least common).94 Lon­gitudinal outcomes have demonstrated increased mortality from heart disease in left sided breast cancer and ipsilateral secondary lung cancer, particularly in RT performed in the 70s, 10–20 years later.
Fatigue is common in patients following RT and pla­teaus at weeks 4–5, but returns to baseline within a few months.

combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy than when treated with radiation alone.96 Persistent lethargy is another common problem among breast cancer sur­vivors, with reports of fatigue 20–40 years after diag­nosis.98 Although exercise, such as yoga, may improve symptoms,96 systemic disorders such as anemia, should be ruled out. Although rarely of signicance, myelo­suppression is common after radiation with subsequent suppression of leukocytes, lymphocytes, and platelets.97 Routine blood counts are not recommended; however, special attention should be made for patients receiving both chemotherapy and radiation for signs of infection or leukopenia.
