Effects of Tumor-Rib Distance and Dose-Dependent Rib Volume on Radiation-Induced Rib Fractures in Patients with Breast Cancer

Effects of Tumor-Rib Distance and Dose-Dependent Rib Volume on Radiation-Induced Rib Fractures in Patients with Breast Cancer

This study aimed to investigate the effects of tumor-rib distance and dose-dependent rib volume on radiation-induced rib fractures (RIRFs) in patients with breast cancer. We retrospectively included 510 women with breast cancer who underwent surgical resection with adjuvant radiotherapy. The tumor-r...
