  "summary": "Radiation therapy is sometimes needed after mastectomy and breast reconstruction for breast cancer. However, patients with implant-based reconstruction who receive radiation therapy have a higher risk of capsular contracture, a complication in which scar tissue tightens around the implant. In more severe cases, it can cause breast pain, firmness or distortion and may require additional surgery.",
