Purpose In left-sided breast cancer radiotherapy, tangential intensity modulated
radiotherapy combined with breath-hold enables a dose reduction to the heart and left …

Heart diseases and cardiovascular events are well-known side effects in left-sided breast
irradiation. Deep inspiration breath hold (BH) combined with fast delivery techniques such …

Purpose: We aim to evaluate the robustness of multi-field IMRT and VMAT plans to target
motion for left-sided BC radiotherapy. Methods: The 7-field hybrid IMRT (7F-H-IMRT) and 2 …

Abstract Treatment planning system calculations in inhomogeneous regions may present
significant inaccuracies due to loss of electronic equilibrium. In this study, three different …

Background and purpose Adjuvant radiation therapy (RT) of the whole breast (WB) is still the
