Dosimetric Evaluation of Breathing-Adapted Radiotherapy for Right-Sided Breast Cancer

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in females worldwide as a major health concern [1-3]. Radiation therapy plays a central role in the management of breast cancer with its benefit in terms of local control and survival [4-8]. Radiation therapy for breast cancer typically targets the breast or the chestwall and lymph nodes when indicated. Since these targets are located in vicinity of critical structures such as the lungs, heart and vessels, radiation-induced toxicity and morbidity may be considered as important concerns for long-term survivors of breast cancer.
