Background Radiotherapy after breast-conserving therapy is a standard postoperative
treatment of breast cancer, which can be carried out with a variety of irradiation techniques …

Out‐of‐field organs are not commonly designated as dose calculation targets during
radiation therapy treatment planning, but they might entail risks of second cancer. Risk …

PURPOSE: The risk of secondary lung malignancy (SLM) is a significant concern for women
treated with whole-breast radiation therapy after breast-conserving surgery for early-stage …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Accelerated partial breast irradiation by means of
multicatheter brachytherapy shows great promise in the modern treatment of early breast …

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 …

Objective: In this study, we used the concept of organ-equivalent dose (OED) to evaluate the
excess absolute risk (EAR) for secondary cancer in various organs after radiation treatment …

Background As hybrid radiotherapy technique can effectively balance dose distribution
between targets and organs, it is necessary to evaluate the late effects related to …

With improved cure rates and prolonged patient survival after breast-cancer radiotherapy,
radiation-induced second cancers and heart diseases become increasingly important. The …

The comparison of radiotherapy techniques regarding secondary cancer risk has yielded
contradictory results possibly stemming from the many different approaches used to estimate …
