Breast integrity and beauty affect women’s physical and mental health. Immediate breast reconstruction after

breast cancer mastectomy can significantly increase women’s self-confidence and improve women’s quality of life. As a conventional treatment for breast cancer, radiotherapy can reduce the local recurrence rate and disease-free survival rate of breast cancer. However, radiotherapy can increase the complication rate and failure rate of breast reconstruction immediately after breast

cancer surgery. The two most commonly performed breast reconstruction procedures are breast reconstruction with autologous

tissue and breast reconstruction with prosthesis. In this paper, the effects of radiotherapy on autologous tissue breast reconstruction and prosthesis breast reconstruction were reviewed.
