Influence of the presence of tissue expanders on energy deposition for post-mastectomy radiotherapy.
An increasing number of studies have shown that post-mastectomy radiotherapy presents benefits associated with the patients survival and a significant fraction of the treated patients makes use of tissue expanders for breast reconstruction. Some models of tissue expanders have a magnetic disk on the...
