“…At the same time, owing to the early stages of breast mucinous adenocarcinoma, a considerable proportion of patients undergo breast-conserving surgery. Radiotherapy after breast-conserving surgery is a standard process [11][12][13][14], so the proportion of patients receiving it in this study was high.…”

“…Patients may be at risk of locoregional recurrence (LRR) after mastectomy due to microscopic residual disease areas in the chest wall and draining lymphatics. Post-mastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) has been found to reduce LRR risk and potentially improve survival ( 18 ). Of note, Protons-PMRT provides excellent locoregional control rates and nearly complete avoidance of cardiopulmonary structures compared to photon-based approaches ( 19 ).…”
