First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a radiation method called multi-beam IMRT in 100 women with breast cancer who had implant reconstructions after mastectomy. The goal was to see if using 8-12 small radiation beams instead of the standard 2-5 could reduce implant failure and side effects. Results focused on lowering complications like capsular contracture and implant loss within 2-2.5 years after treatment.
