Abstract:
Breast cancer is one of the main malignant tumors that endanger women's health.With the in-depth study and extensive application of comprehensive treatment for breast cancer,the role of radiotherapy in treatment is becoming more and more important.Among them,there is no international consensus on whether postoperative radiotherapy is required for patients with 1~3 positive axillary lymph nodes.What factors are the high-risk factors affecting the prognosis of these patients is still a hot topic discussed by scholars in various countries.This article reviews the significance of post-mastectomy radiotherapy in the treatment of breast cancer patients with 1 to 3 positive axillary lymph nodes.
