Abstract:
Radiotherapy is an important part of the postoperative adjuvant therapy of breast cancer. Radiation-induced brachial plexopathy (RIBP) of postoperative radiotherapy severely reduces the quality of life of breast cancer patients. In this article, the general situation, mechanism, diagnosis, risk factors, treatment and preventive measures of RIBP were reviewed.
