Abstract:
0.05).The 2 -year and 3-year survival rates were 91.7 %,89.2 % and 85.8%,86.1% in all patients for either gr oup. The 2 -year and 3-year survival rates were 84.2%,81.8% and 72.9%,77.1% in p atients with positive axillary lymph nodes for the two groups, with the differen ces insignificant (Logrank test P=0.663, P=0.9 19).There were no differences in the 2-year and 3-year survivals for patients with stage Ⅲ and over receiving ch est wall irradiation or not and patients who received different doses of chest w all irradiation (Logrank test P=0.449, P=0.764 ). Conclusions Locoregional recu rrence is not reduced and survival rate is not improved by chest wall irradiatio n in this study. The prognostic impact of chest wall irradiation and the optimal target of radiotherapy remains to be substantiated by more randomized trials.
