| Abstract:: |
| The chest wall is one of the most common sites of local recurrence after mastectomy. Radiation therapy has been proven to significantly reduce local recurrence and improve survival in breast cancer patients. In postmastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT), the dose build-up effects of high-energy radiation result in lower doses on the skin surface of the affected chest wall. To increase the skin dose, tissue compensators (boluses) need to be applied to the skin surface of the affected chest wall. This review primarily summarizes the indications, materials, thickness, and frequency of boluses used in PMRT, serving as a reference for clinical practice. |
