Do you recommend a dose constraint for breast implants when treating a patient for NSCLC with radiotherapy?

In the case of conventional fractionation or SBRT, would you constrain the implants? (No history of breast cancer.)

Answer from: Radiation Oncologist at Community Practice

There is no specific number, but with multi-beam RT dose received by the implants is low to moderate to be of any specific concern.
