Field-In-Field Plan Versus Tangential Wedged Beam Plan in Chest Wall Radiotherapy of Post-Mastectomy Patients: Treatment Planning Study
Introduction: In this study, dose distribution of the chest wall in post-mastectomy breast cancer patients was evaluated and compared in the tangential wedged beam (TWB) and field-in-field (FIF) plans. Materials and Methods: Thirty-six patients with left-sided breast cancer were enrolled in this study. The FIF and TWB plans were generated for each patient to compare dosimetric parameters of th...

An isolated late chest wall recurrence after mastectomy for breast cancer is rare. We present a case of a lady with a T2N1M0 right breast cancer who developed an isolated local recurrence on the chest wall 11 years after mastectomy. Staging investigations excluded distant metastases. She underwent an excisional biopsy and was started on an aromatase inhibitor. Radiotherapy was given to the ches...
متن کاملDosimetric comparison of TomoDirect and TomoHelical plans in post-mastectomy chest wall radiation therapy
Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the characteristics of TomoDirect (TD) plans compared to conventional TomoHelical (TH) plans in chest wall irradiation in patients with breast cancer. Materials and Methods: TD and TH plans for only chest wall were retrospectively created for 30 patients previously treated with TH technique in our clinic. The beam angles were arranged to cov...
متن کاملPost mastectomy linac IMRT irradiation of chest wall and regional nodes: dosimetry data and acute toxicities
BACKGROUND Conventional post-mastectomy radiation therapy is delivered with tangential fields for chest wall and separate fields for regional nodes. Although chest wall and regional nodes delineation has been discussed with RTOG contouring atlas, CT-based planning to treat chest wall and regional nodes as a whole target has not been widely accepted. We herein discuss the dosimetric characterist...
