Abstract
Purpose: Chest wall radiotherapy is sometimes offered to breast cancer patients with high risk histological features following mastectomy and immediate reconstructive surgery [1]. There is no national consensus on the ideal radiotherapy technique or fractionation for these patients. This work describes a national UK survey of the choice of radiotherapy regime for the reconstructed chest wall. The questions asked focused on which fractionation regime consultants choose, their reasons for this choice, whether the type of reconstruction influences their choice of regime, and whether bolus is used in patients who had undergone immediate reconstructive surgery.
