Abstract:Purpose
The exposition of cardiac conduction system during breast radiation therapy has never been studied, despite the increasing use of intensity-modulated radiation therapy, which exposes larger volume to low-dose bath. We evaluated conduction node exposure during breast irradiation with volumetric modulated arc therapy and estimated the potential dosimetric benefit with intensity-modulated proton therapy.
