ABSTRACT
Postmastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) is accepted as the standard of care for women with early breast cancer with 4 or more involved axillary nodes. However the role of PMRT in women with 1-3 involved nodes remains controversial and guidelines vary. We present the arguments against advocating postmastectomy radiotherapy for all women with node positive breast cancer.
