ABSTRACT
Hypofractionated radiotherapy, which provides equivalent efficacy and dose not increase toxicity compared with conventional fractionated radiotherapy following breast-conserving surgery, has become a preferred choice for whole breast irradiation. Given the low local recurrence risk and long survival time for early breast cancer survivors, radiation-associated toxicities are the focus of clinical practice. However, in the era of hypofractionated radiotherapy, the risk factors for radiation-associated toxicity remain undefined and further research is warranted. In this review, we aim to provide an overview of the toxicities of hypofractionated radiotherapy following breast-conserving surgery.
