Dosimetric comparison of conventional and field-in-field techniques in early stage breast cancer radiotherapy
Introduction: Breast conserving surgery followed by adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) of the whole breast is accepted as the treatment of choice in early stage breast cancer. Due to breast irregularities, it is difficult to access homogenous dose distribution with conventional techniques. Currently, it is possible to use varied breast irradiation techniques, such as field- in-field (F...
متن کاملDosimetric outcomes of the breast field-in-field (FIF) radiotherapy technique in patients with mastectomy and lumpectomy surgeries
Background: Field-in-field (FIF) technique for treatment of breast cancer has become a widely performed method over the recent years. However, there was no study in the application of FIF technique in patients with breast cancer undergoing mastectomy and lumpectomy. This study is an attempt to compare dosimetric outcomes after applying the FIF technique in these patients. Materials and Methods:...
متن کاملDosimetric comparison of whole breast radiotherapy using field in field and conformal radiotherapy techniques in early stage breast cancer
Background: We aimed to compare field-in-field technique (FIF) with conformal tangential field radiotherapy (CRT) in terms of dosimetric benefits for early stage breast cancer radiotherapy. Materials and Methods: Twenty consecutive left-side breast cancer patients who underwent breast-conserving surgery were included to the study. For each patient, two different treatment plans were cr...
متن کاملPerformance evaluation of field-in-field technique for tangential breast irradiation.
Conventional hard or dynamic wedge systems are commonly applied to reduce the dose inhomogeneity associated with whole breast irradiation. We evaluated the dosimetric benefits of the field-in-field (FIF) technique by comparing it with the electronic compensator (EC), Varian enhanced dynamic wedge (EW) and conventional hard wedge (HW) techniques. Data were obtained from 12 patients who had under...
متن کاملDosimetric evaluation of field-in-field and sliding-window IMRT in endometrium cancer patients with a new approach for the conformity index
Background: Purpose of the study is to evaluate field-in-field (FIF) and sliding-window intensity modulated radiation therapy (SW-IMRT) treatment plans in terms of homogeneity index (HI), conformity index (CI) and normal tissue doses for organs at risk (OAR) in patients with endometrial carcinoma along with deriving a new expression for CI. Materials and Methods: Four different FIF plans with d...
