Abstract
The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of smoking on acute and chronic toxicity in early breast cancer patients treated with hypofractionated intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and a brachytherapy boost following breast-conserving surgery. Acute toxicity was assessed at treatment end and chronic toxicity at least one-year post-treatment, using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v4.0. Statistical analyses included chi-square tests and relative risk (RR) calculations.
