Conclusion:

Postoperative complications and the extent of regional nodal metastases were associated with an increased risk for capsular contracture, while none of the analyzed dosimetric factors were linked to a higher incidence. Further studies are needed to identify additional potential risk factors.

Keywords: post-mastectomy radiotherapy, capsular contracture
