Abstract  Although the use of postmastectomy radiation therapy (PMRT) has been proven to bring survival benefit to breast cancer patients, the use of chest wall tissue equivalent filler (bolus) remains controversial. In recent years, a large number of studies have shown that the use of bolus in PMRT does not significantly improve the local control rate, while it can significantly increase the acute skin toxicity, and even leads to more frequent and longer treatment interruption. Existing retrospective studies have indicated that for breast cancer patients undergoing mastectomy and systemic therapy, if there is no skin invasion, it is recommended not to routinely use bolus during radiotherapy. However, higher-level clinical studies are needed for further confirmation.
