Contralateral breast dose from partial breast brachytherapy
The purpose of this study was to determine the dose to the contralateral breast during accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) and to compare it to external beam-published values. Thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) packets were used to measure the dose to the most medial aspect of the contralateral breast during APBI simulation, daily quality assurance (QA), and treatment. All patients in ...
متن کاملAccelerated partial breast irradiation with high dose rate brachytherapy for early breast cancer.
Globally breast cancer is the most common ma lignancy among women. In India, it is the com monest cancer in Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore with Age Incidence Rates (AAR) of 28.6, 28.1 and 22.1 per lac women respectively. Though, ma jority of patients present in advanced stages, but due to increasing public awareness and better health care facilities, there is a rising trend in early breast canc...
متن کاملMeasuring the photon and thermal neutron dose values of contralateral breast surface undergone breast cancer radiation therapy
This research aimed to measure the received photon and thermal neutron doses to contralateral breast (CB) surface in breast cancer radiation therapy for different field sizes in presence of dynamic and physical wedges. The photon and thermal neutron doses were measured by thermo uminescent dosimeter (TLDs) chips for 11 × 13, 11 × 17 and 11 × 21 cm2 field sizes in presence of physical and dynamic ...
متن کاملA comparison of contralateral breast dose due to breast cancer radiotherapy using two different treatment machines in a radiotherapy center
Background: The radiation dose received by contralateral breast (CLB) is one of the concerns of breast radiotherapy, because it may lead to the induction of secondary breast cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the CLB surface dose in the breast treatment in Yazd radiotherapy center. Materials and Methods: The surface dose of CLB was measured using TLD dosimetry in 50 cancer breast pat...
متن کاملDose estimation for different skin models in interstitial breast brachytherapy
PURPOSE Skin is a major organ at risk in breast-conserving therapy (BCT). The American Brachytherapy Society (ABS) recommendations require monitoring of maximum dose received, however, there is no unambiguous way of skin contouring provided. The purpose of this study was to compare the doses received by the skin in different models. MATERIAL AND METHODS Standard treatment plans of 20 patients...
