The debate over post-mastectomy radiotherapy should continue

摘要

On the basis of an Early Breast Cancer Trialists' Collaborative Group meta-analysis, it has been suggested that the controversy over post-mastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) for women with 1-3 involved lymph nodes should end. However, the meta-analysis lacks appropriate sample size, stratification, and uses outdated systemic regimens. Thus, the debate should continue.
