Predictive factors associated with acute radiation dermatitis in patients with breast cancer: a retrospective cohort study
We have identified key risk factors for moderate to severe ARD, including obesity and treatment modalities such as localized boost treatments and bolus application. Hormone therapy and hypofractionated RT appear to reduce ARD severity. These findings have implications for the development of treatment plans and the mitigation of the risk of ARD in patients undergoing RT.
