Methods: From 2007 to 2014, data of patients aged ≤70 years old with stage II–III breast cancer who received total mastectomy (TM) were extracted from medical records. Exclusion criteria were: previous contralateral breast cancer, follow-up loss before adjuvant therapy completion, and artificial reconstruction. Patients were divided into two groups: (I) TM alone, and (II) TM + IABR. Overall survival (OS) and loco-regional recurrence free survival (LRRFS) were calculated. Times of minor revision, abnormal image findings in breast, and change of breast height were observed.
Results: Sixty-one of 188 patients received IABR after TM. Stage IIIB–C was the most important prognostic factor for OS (P},
