Contemporary Guidelines in Whole-Breast Irradiation: An Alternative Perspective

Abram Recht et al. Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys. .

Abstract

The American Society for Radiation Oncology produced an evidence-based guideline on whole-breast radiation therapy for patients with early-stage invasive breast cancer and ductal carcinoma in situ. This commentary points out areas where we believe the data are too limited to make definitive recommendations and where alternative approaches are supported by evidence.
