Dose-volume Analysis of Heart and Lung during 3D planning of Tangential Breast Cancer Irradiation
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 کاملVerifying monitor unit calculations for tangential whole‐breast fields in three‐dimensional planning
An essential component of quality assurance in radiation therapy is verifying the accuracy of monitor unit calculations. For tangential breast fields, monitor unit differences between primary calculations and second checks are usually larger than considered acceptable at other anatomical sites. A simple model to reconcile the differences between sophisticated and simple algorithms is presented,...
متن کاملImmunotherapy for Breast Cancer Treatment
Breast cancer, as a heterogeneous disease, includes a wide range of pathological and clinical behaviors. Current treatment protocols, including radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and hormone replacement therapy, are mainly associated with poor response and high rate of recurrence. Therefore, more efforts are needed to develop alternative therapies for this type of cancer. Immunotherapy, as a novel str...
متن کاملOptimization of three dimensional planning dosimetric in breast phantom for match region of supraclavicular and tangential fields.
AIM Complex geometry of breast tissue causes perturbation in dose distribution. This problem can beget overdose or under-dose points in match region of three fields. The aim of this study is to create dose homogeneity distribution in match region between tangential and supraclavicular fields (SCF) with Gafchromic external beam therapy (EBT) film. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, an anatom...
