Radiotherapy Boost to Clinically Positive Internal Mammary Lymph Nodes: An Effective Non-Surgical Alternative?
An RT boost to IMLNs without surgical resection provides excellent oncologic outcomes with acceptable toxicity. While the SIB technique reduces the number of treatment fractions, it did not result in superior oncologic outcomes compared to the sequential boost. Further prospective studies are needed to investigate the role of RT boost sequencing to the IMLNs.
