“…For left-sided breast cancer, the tangential treatment often leads to high dose exposure to the heart, which increases the probability of cardiac morbidity [10,14,28,72]. Long-term studies have shown that conventional techniques lead to an elevated risk of cardiac mortality and morbidity [9,15,22,53,59].…”

This is the first study which evaluates a group of 10 breast cancer patients with funnel chest. Better uniformity and conformity combined with a significant reduction of high dose exposure to the OARs can be reached using tomotherapy. However, tomotherapy plans have a significantly larger volume of low dose to the lungs and contralateral breast. Therefore, the stochastic risk should be considered after low dose exposure in women with low deformation.
