ALTJ V35Gy above 50% tripled lymphedema risk after breast radiotherapy
Irradiating more than half of the axillary-lateral thoracic junction to 35 Gy was independently associated with a threefold higher lymphedema risk.

Each 1-Gy increase in estimated immune-cell dose was associated with 66% higher breast cancer mortality after multivariable adjustment.
Two- to five-millimetre gastrointestinal margins usually limited delivered dose increases but frequently failed to encompass interfraction organ motion.
A 4.5 mm isotropic margin covered most observed small-bowel occupancy despite craniocaudal displacements exceeding 20 mm in some patients.
Four epidermolysis bullosa patients tolerated radiotherapy without greater-than-expected cutaneous toxicity, despite maximum skin dose up to 50.4 Gy.
All patients receiving more than 8 Gy mean dose or 16 Gy maximum dose to the least exposed ovary developed premature ovarian insufficiency.
