Excerpt

In the 2015 edition, the major revisions were as follows:
  • CQ10 (the optimal timing of radiotherapy (RT) after breast surgery) were created by combining the previous version of CQ12 (the optimal timing of RT after breast-conserving surgery) and that of CQ10 (the optimal timing of postmastectomy radiation therapy).
  • The previous CQ8 (Contraindication of RT after breast-conserving surgery) were updated to CQ12 (Contraindication of RT after breast surgery) with the addition of the description of the contraindication of PMRT.
  • New CQs were described: CQ8-c, CQ11-b, CQ13, CQ14, CQ15-a,b,c,d.
  • The recommended grade of CQ4-b (parasternal nodal irradiation after BCS) was changed (from Grade C2 to B, C1).
