Smoking increases breast toxicity despite adjuvant hypofractionated IMRT in early breast cancer
While advanced radiation techniques such as hypofractionated IMRT improve overall toxicity profiles, smoking significantly exacerbates chronic toxicity in breast cancer patients. This study underscores the urgent need for comprehensive smoking cessation programs as part of cancer care, addressing lifestyle factors to improve patient outcomes and quality of life.
