We congratulate Chang et al. for their recent publication detailing patterns of locoregional recurrence for breast cancer patients in the context of cooperative group contouring guidelines from RTOG and ESTRO [1]. The number of patients suffering recurrence outside of the smaller ESTRO but within the larger RTOG volumes was small for patients undergoing breast conserving surgery (3.6%), suggesting good concordance between the CTV volume recommendations; however, a significant percentage (28.9%) of local failures after mastectomy occurred outside of the smaller ESTRO but within the larger RTOG volumes.
