No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of adding bolus in adjuvant radiotherapy after mastectomy, in relation to the time of treatment interruption and acute effects. This study evaluates whether there is an increase in treatment time with the addition of the bolus, which can overshadow the benefit of increased dose to the skin and subcutaneous tissue. The patients will continue to be followed for oncologic outcomes, focusing on chest wall local control.
