Comparison 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 کاملEvaluation of Lung Density and Its Dosimetric Impact on Lung Cancer Radiotherapy: A Simulation Study
Background: The dosimetric parameters required in lung cancer radiation therapy are taken from a homogeneous water phantom; however, during treatment, the expected results are being affected because of its inhomogeneity. Therefore, it becomes necessary to quantify these deviations.Objective: The present study has been undertaken to find out inter- and intra- lung density variations and its dosi...
متن کاملEvaluation of regional nodes irradiation during breast cancer radiotherapy
Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate nodal irradiation with conventional three-field's technique. Materials and Methods: Fifty patients with breast cancer were enrolled in this study. Computed tomography scans in the supine treatment position were imported into a treatment planning system. Levels I-III axillary and supraclavicular nodes were identified and their depths to the a...
متن کاملA 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 کاملLow-Dose-Area-Constrained Helical TomoTherapy-Based Whole Breast Radiotherapy and Dosimetric Comparison with Tangential Field-in-Field IMRT
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To present a novel helical TomoTherapy-based method for whole breast radiotherapy that has better dosimetry and also has acceptable low-dose regions for lungs, heart, and contralateral breast compared with tangential field-in-field IMRT (FIF-IMRT). MATERIAL AND METHODS Ten patients with left-side breast cancer were planned with low-dose-area-constrained helical TomoTher...
