What are the criteria for not using radiotherapy after breast cancer surgery

The criteria for not using radiotherapy after breast cancer surgery include early-stage breast cancer, radical surgery, advanced age, poor physical condition, and chemotherapy factors.

1. Early breast cancer: If it is early breast cancer, the tumor is small, the symptoms are mild, and there is no lymph node infiltration or distant metastasis, radiotherapy is generally not required after surgery, and regular check-ups are sufficient.

2. Perform radical surgery: If it is early or mid-stage breast cancer, modified radical surgery has been performed, the resection margin is negative, and radiotherapy is not necessary.

3. Too old: If the patient is older, the disease is more serious, and the tolerance is reduced, radiotherapy is generally not recommended.

4. Poor physical condition: If the patient has a previous disease or has undergone some kind of surgery, and is in poor physical condition and weak, radiotherapy is not recommended to avoid aggravating physical injuries.

5. Chemotherapy factors: If chemotherapy has been performed before and the chemotherapy effect is good, radiotherapy is not necessary at this time.

Radiotherapy is not recommended if the patient has serious organ diseases. Breast cancer patients need to actively seek medical treatment to prolong their survival and improve their living conditions. Whether radiotherapy is needed depends on the patient's physical condition and the doctor's judgment.
