Identifying the Axillary Substructure at Risk for Lymphedema in Operable Patients With Breast Cancer Receiving Regional Nodal Irradiation
ALTJ-V35<sub>Gy</sub> < 79.2% may serve as a recommended dose constraint for patients undergoing RNI after ALND. Avoiding excessive radiation to the ALTJ is clinically feasible and safe, potentially mitigating BCRL risk without compromising dose coverage to high-risk nodal regions.
