Abstract
Radiation-induced sarcoma of the breast is a rare but serious complication of radiation therapy for breast cancer. Although the risk of this complication is low, patients who have undergone radiation therapy for breast cancer should have regular follow-up to detect any signs of new tumor or recurrence. Imaging tests such as CT or MRI can be used to screen for radiation-induced sarcoma. If radiation-induced sarcoma is detected, the recommended treatment includes complete surgical removal followed by postoperative radiation therapy.
