Timing of postmastectomy radiation therapy in two-stage expander/implant-based breast reconstruction: a systematic review and meta-analysis for the 2022 Japanese breast cancer society clinical practice guideline
PMRT to expander was associated with higher reconstruction failure and lower severe capsular contracture rates, with no significant differences in major complications by timing. There is insufficient evidence to favor one approach over the other.
