PMRT & Reconstruction
03/01/13
PMRT and reconstruction?
The far majority of PMRT is therapy of the chest wall and regional nodes
If the chest wall target is replaced with autologous tissue, then the PMRT
may be modified to only include regional nodes, except in cases with locally
advanced breast cancer (LABC).
In patients with LABC immediate reconstruction is generally not a good
strategy. However, if performed the chest wall is still target for PMRT.
