Abstract:Purpose
For patients treated with partial breast irradiation (PBI), potential long-term treatment-related toxicities are important. The 1.5 T magnetic resonance guided linear accelerator (MRL) offers excellent tumor bed visualization and a daily treatment plan adaption possibility, but MRL-specific electron stream and return effects may cause increased dose deposition at air–tissue interfaces. In this study, we aimed to investigate the projected risk of radiation-induced secondary malignancies (R… Show more
