Hypofractionated nodal radiation therapy for breast cancer was not associated with increased patient-reported arm or brachial plexopathy symptoms

Among 708 women treated with CT-planned regional nodal radiation therapy (RT) for breast cancer, self-reported arm symptoms were similar or less debilitating following modestly hypofractionated (2.25-2.5 Gy/day) versus conventionally fractionated (≤ 2 Gy/day) RT at a median of 5.7 years after treatment.
