Abstract:
Breast cancer treatment strategies have evolved significantly over the years, and decisions regarding the use of radiotherapy have become increasingly complex.

While omitting radiotherapy may be a viable option for select patient groups, it is not without its challenges. The decision to omit radiotherapy in breast cancer treatment should be highly individualized and made after a comprehensive evaluation of the patient's specific circumstances.
