Abstract

Postmastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) is accepted as the standard of care for women with early breast cancer with 4 or more involved axillary nodes. However the role of PMRT in women with 1–3 involved nodes remains controversial and guidelines vary.

We present the arguments against advocating postmastectomy radiotherapy for all women with node positive breast cancer.
