Dosimetric benefits of gantry‐static couch‐motion (GsCM) technique for breast boost radiation therapy: Reduced dose to organs‐at‐risk and improved dosimetric indices
Abstract:To evaluate the clinical feasibility and dosimetric benefits of a novel gantry‐static couch‐motion (GsCM) technique for external beam photon boost treatment of lumpectomy cavity in patients with early‐stage breast cancer in comparison to three‐dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D‐CRT), wedge pair in supine position (WPS), and wedge pair in decubitus position (WPD) techniques. A retrospective review was conducted on breast patients (right breast, n = 10 and left breast, n = 10) who received 10 Gy boost after … Show more
