GOAL

Picture
Evaluation of the efficacy of photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) in the prevention  of acute radiodermatitis in breast cancer patients

STUDY DESIGN

Picture
Placebo-controlled, randomized trial with breast cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy after a breast sparing surgery at the Jessa Hospital (NCT02443493) from April 2015 until June 2017
Control group (n=60)
Laser group (n=60)
Standard skin care
