Longitudinal analysis of patient‐reported outcomes and cosmesis in a randomized trial of conventionally fractionated versus hypofractionated whole‐breast irradiation

Abstract

In this randomized trial, longitudinal outcomes did not appear to differ by treatment arm. Patient-reported functional and pain outcomes improved over time. These findings are relevant when counseling patients regarding decisions concerning radiotherapy. Cancer 2016. © 2016 American Cancer Society.
