Dose-volume Analysis of Heart and Lung during 3D Planning of Tangential Breast Cancer Irradiation
Introduction: Breast cancer is becoming more frequently diagnosed at early stages with improved long-term outcomes. Radiation-related heart disease and lung cancer can occur following radiotherapy for breast cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate some dosimetric parameters of heart and lung during whole breast radiotherapy. Materials and Methods: Twenty...

Background: Breast cancer is becoming more frequently diagnosed at early stages with improved long term outcomes. Radiation-related heart disease and lung cancer can occur following radiotherapy for breast cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate some dosimetric parameters of heart and lung during whole breast radiotherapy. Methods:Twenty five consecutive...
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 کاملFeasibility study of individualized optimal positioning selection for left‐sided whole breast radiotherapy: DIBH or prone
The deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH) and prone (P) position are two common heart-sparing techniques for external-beam radiation treatment of left-sided breast cancer patients. Clinicians select the position that is deemed to be better for tissue sparing based on their experience. This approach, however, is not always optimum and consistent. In response to this, we develop a quantitative tool...
متن کاملPrivacy Protection Mechanism for Indoor Positioning Systems
Usage of location based services in indoor environments has grown as the popularity of smart devices has been extended. Location Based Services can be generally classified in Indoor LBS and Outdoor LBS. The most common and well-known Outdoor LBS mechanism is the Global Positioning System (GPS) because of its high coverage and accuracy in outdoor environments. However, GPS is not used for Indoor...
