BackgroundWhole breast irradiation is an essential treatment after breast-conserving
surgery (BCS). However, there are some adverse effects from inhomogeneity and dose to …

Objectives: To evaluate and compare the dose distribution and dose volume histograms of
three dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT) versus intensity modulated …

Background: Dosimetric parameters of the planning target volume (PTV) and organs at risk
(OARs) were compared among 3 different radiotherapy (RT) modalities in left breast cancer …

Background and purpose: In spite of the complex geometry of the breast, treatment planning
for tangential breast irradiation is conventionally performed using two-dimensional patient …

Background The shift from conventional two-dimensional (2D) to three-dimensional (3D)-
conformal target definition and dose-planning seems to have introduced volumetric as well …

Background: Conformal Radiotherapy techniques adapting to the ballistics of delineated
volumes allowed significant reduction in excess radiation induced mortality however the …

Due to its location, breast radiotherapy necessitates a high degree of accuracy in order to
protect adjacent organs at risk while maximizing doses to the tumor. Numerous studies have …

Breast cancer is the most common cancer for incidence and mortality among females
globally and in Indonesia. Mastectomy is still the most common surgery for female breast …

Results: Our main objective was to analyze dose-distribution of left lung. Monitor Units (MUs)
were also recorded and found almost same in these three modalities ranging from 1200 to …

Setup error plays a significant role in the final treatment outcome in radiotherapy. The effect
of setup error on the planning target volume (PTV) and surrounding critical structures has …
