Abstract in brief

  • Phyllodes tumors of the breast are rare, and surgical removal is the main treatment; however, the role of additional radiation therapy (RT) is not clearly established.
  • The study found that RT did not significantly improve outcomes for benign tumors but significantly reduced local recurrence in borderline and malignant tumors, especially when surgical margins were clear.
  • Overall survival rates did not differ much between patients who received RT and those who did not, but RT was shown to decrease the risk of local tumor recurrence, supporting its use in higher-grade tumors.
