title: [Radiotherapy after plastic surgery of the breast].
abstract: Recent progress in both the surgical techniques and the prosthetic materials employed in plastic and reconstructive surgery of the breast after mastectomy has led to an increase in the number of patients requesting the treatment. As a result postoperative radiotherapy may often be indicated for such patients. The series treated in Alessandria Hospital's Radiotherapy Division in 1979-86 is examined with particular emphasis on the long-term cosmetic results.
