Dosimetric comparison of conventional and field-in-field techniques in early stage breast cancer radiotherapy
Introduction: Breast conserving surgery followed by adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) of the whole breast is accepted as the treatment of choice in early stage breast cancer. Due to breast irregularities, it is difficult to access homogenous dose distribution with conventional techniques. Currently, it is possible to use varied breast irradiation techniques, such as field- in-field (F...
متن کاملDosimetric outcomes of the breast field-in-field (FIF) radiotherapy technique in patients with mastectomy and lumpectomy surgeries
Background: Field-in-field (FIF) technique for treatment of breast cancer has become a widely performed method over the recent years. However, there was no study in the application of FIF technique in patients with breast cancer undergoing mastectomy and lumpectomy. This study is an attempt to compare dosimetric outcomes after applying the FIF technique in these patients. Materials and Methods:...
متن کاملDosimetric comparison of whole breast radiotherapy using field in field and conformal radiotherapy techniques in early stage breast cancer
Background: We aimed to compare field-in-field technique (FIF) with conformal tangential field radiotherapy (CRT) in terms of dosimetric benefits for early stage breast cancer radiotherapy. Materials and Methods: Twenty consecutive left-side breast cancer patients who underwent breast-conserving surgery were included to the study. For each patient, two different treatment plans were cr...
متن کاملComparison between field-in-field technique and the use of conventional wedges for treatment planning of esophageal cancer
Introduction: This study was conducted to evaluate and quantify the treatment planning performance of MLC-optimized field-in-field planning technique (FIF), also named forward IMRT, versus wedge-based three field (W3F) technique in terms of dosimetric and radiobiological parameters for esophageal carcinoma. Material and Methods: Twenty patients with esophag...
