Breast cancers are more and more common and most are treated with radiotherapy. However, several years after radiotherapy, up to 30% of patients develop a chronic skin disease called «chronic radiodermatitis» in the irradiated areas. This radiodermatitis is characterized by the progressive appearance of numerous red telangiectasias (dilated blood vessels), often associated with areas of hyper and hypo-pigmentation, with very thin and fragile skin on the surface (skin atrophy) and sometimes with deep induration of the skin (fibrosis). Vascular lasers (in this indication KTP laser or Pulsed Dye Laser) and Pulsed Lights (IPL) can be used to selectively treat pathological vessels in areas of radiodermatitis.
