ABSTRACT
A technique for post-mastectomy irradiation in breast cancer patients is described. The chest wall and internal mammary nodes are irradiated with single, anterior electron beam. The axillary and supraclavicular nodal regions are treated with parallel opposed telecobalt beams. A total of 124 patients have been subjected to this procedure. All, except five, completed the treatment. Desquamation, dry as well as wet, was of universal occurrence in electron irradiated zones. The follow up period is 2-26 months with a median of 12 months. Out of the 106 followed up patients, two developed local recurrence while distant metastases were observed in 13 patients.
