Would you deliver post-operative axillary radiation for breast cancer patients who have contralateral axillary disease s/p ALND?

Topics: Breast Cancer • Radiation Oncology

If so, would you also include the breast?

Answer from: Radiation Oncologist at Community Practice

For recurrent disease involving contra lateral axilla, I have treated undissected axilla and supraclavicular region only (not contralateral breast or chest wall).
