title: A tailored approach to regional nodal irradiation.
abstract: Regional nodal irradiation for breast cancer has recently been shown to improve disease-free survival, distant disease-free survival, and breast-related mortality but is associated with morbidity. A tailored approach adding regional nodal irradiation only to patients with involvement of the internal mammary nodes is improving prognosis while minimizing morbidity.
