Background The aim of this review is the critical appraisal of the current use of volumetric
modulated arc therapy for the radiation therapy management of breast cancer. Both clinical …

Purpose This patient study evaluated the use of 3-dimensional (3D) printed bolus for chest
wall radiation therapy compared with standard sheet bolus with regard to accuracy of fit …

Distinguishing breast invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) and breast ductal carcinoma in situ
(DCIS) is a key step in breast surgery, especially to determine whether DCIS is associated …

Purpose To assess and compare the dosimetric parameters obtained between three-
dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT), three-dimensional field-in-field (3DFIF), 5 …

Background To compare the dosimetric, normal tissue complication probability (NTCP),
secondary cancer complication probabilities (SCCP), and excess absolute risk (EAR) …

Purpose This study evaluates the benefit of a virtual bolus method for volumetric modulated
arc therapy (VMAT) plan optimization to compensate breast modifications that may occur …

Abstract Background To analyze RapidPlan knowledge-based models for DVH estimation of
organs at risk from breast cancer VMAT plans presenting arc sectors en-face to the breast …

segmented planning (TSP), conventional 9‐field intensity modulated radiation therapy …

Background A better understanding of the organs-at-risk (OAR) dose metrics and the related
toxicity induced by radiotherapy (RT) for left breast cancer (BC) will improve the quality of …

Purpose To investigate the plan quality and doses to the heart, contralateral breast (CB),
ipsilateral lung (IL), and contralateral lung (CL) in tangential breast treatments using the …
