A comparative dosimetric study for treating left-sided breast cancer for small breast size using five different radiotherapy techniques: conventional tangential field, filed-in-filed, Tangential-IMRT, Multi-beam IMRT and VMAT
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSES To compare the dosimetry for the left-sided breast cancer treatment using five different radiotherapy techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty patients with left sided breast cancer were treated with conservative surgery followed by radiotherapy. They were planned using five different radiotherapy techniques, including: 1) conventional tangential wedge-based fields (TW...
متن کاملComparison of dosimetric radiotherapy of whole left- breast cancer using conventional tangential wedge-based techniques (CTT) and three intensity modulation techniques (IMRT)
Introduction: Whole breast radiotherapy after breast-conserving surgery decrease the risk of local recurrence. this study investigates the dosimetric aspects of intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) compared to conventional tangential wedge-based beams techniques (CTT) of the whole breast in early stages breast cancer patients. Materials and Methods: Co...
متن کاملTangential beam IMRT versus tangential beam 3D-CRT of the chest wall in postmastectomy breast cancer patients: A dosimetric comparison
BACKGROUND This study evaluates the dose distribution of reversed planned tangential beam intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) compared to standard wedged tangential beam three-dimensionally planned conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) of the chest wall in unselected postmastectomy breast cancer patients METHODS For 20 unselected subsequent postmastectomy breast cancer patients tangential beam ...
متن کاملA comparative dosimetric study of left sided breast cancer after breast-conserving surgery treated with VMAT and IMRT.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSES This study compared VMAT and IMRT plans for intact breast radiotherapy for left sided breast cancer and evaluated the irradiated dose of planning target volume and OARs, especially focusing on heart and coronary artery. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eleven patients with left sided breast cancer whose breast was relatively smaller (the mean volumes is 296 cc) treated with breas...
متن کاملIntensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) technique for left breast cancer by different numbers of beam fields
Background: Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) can improve radiotherapy (RT) results by improving healthy tissue sparing. Additionally, IMRT provides more consistent dose deliveries and suppresses secondary tumor formation. RT is a principal treatment in breast cancer (BC). Aim: To evaluate the outcome of the Radiotherapy Plans (RTP) that use IMRT technique to left breast and other organs,...
