SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA The optimal extent of breast surgery required for patients treated with conservation surgery and radiation therapy has not been established. To achieve breast pre...
متن کاملDosimetric pitfalls in the application of shielding disk in breast intraoperative electron radiation therapy
Introduction: Intraoperative electron radiotherapy (IOERT) is an IORT technique in which electron beams with different nominal energies are used for irradiation of microscopic residual of tumor bed after surgery. Application of a shielding disk, which is positioned under the target volume, for protecting the normal tissues such as pectoral muscle, lung, and heart is one of the a...
