The document discusses breast cancer treatment recommendations including:
- No radiation therapy is recommended for early stage DCIS or invasive breast cancer.
- A tumor bed boost is recommended for higher risk patients but large trials found no survival difference with or without a boost.
- Hypofractionated whole breast radiation has become a standard option based on trials showing no difference in survival outcomes compared to conventional fractionation.
- Several trials investigated omitting axillary lymph node dissection or radiation with favorable results for select patient groups with low tumor burden.
