Summary
This study aims to compare the differences in acute and long-term toxicities between intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) and intensity-modulated photon radiotherapy (IMRT/VMAT) in postoperative breast cancer patients, with a focus on evaluating their impact on critical organs, including the heart, lungs, skin, esophagus, thyroid, and lymphatic tissues. Eligible patients will be followed for at least one year to assess the incidence and severity of both acute and late toxicities, as well as differences in patient-reported outcomes (PROs), cosmetic outcomes following breast-conserving surgery, and overall quality of life.
