Abstract

Adjuvant radiotherapy is one of the major anticancer treatments in early breast cancer patients. Acute and late radio-induced effects may occur during or after breast cancer radiotherapy, and their medical management is a major issue for radiation oncologists. Here, the present review of literature embraces complementary non-pharmacological interventions, which could be combined to adjuvant radiotherapy in order to improve patients care.

Keywords: Breast cancer; Cancer du sein; Interventions non médicamenteuses; Non-pharmalogical interventions; Radiotherapy; Radiothérapie.
