Modulated Radiotherapy for Breast Cancer: Locoregional Outcomes
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Breast cancer is the commonest cancer among females worldwide as well as in India, accounting for 27% of all cancer and 21% of cancer related deaths in India [1]. Over last few decades, better understanding of disease biology, early detection and advances in treatment techniques have led to improved outcomes. Newer approaches are being studied to improve treatment outcome with decreased treatment related morbidity.

متن کاملIntensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) technique for left breast cancer by different numbers of beam fields
Background: Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) can improve radiotherapy (RT) results by improving healthy tissue sparing. Additionally, IMRT provides more consistent dose deliveries and suppresses secondary tumor formation. RT is a principal treatment in breast cancer (BC). Aim: To evaluate the outcome of the Radiotherapy Plans (RTP) that use IMRT technique to left breast and other organs,...

Background: Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer and the leading global cause of cancer death among women worldwide. Radiotherapy plays a significant role in treatment of breast cancer and reduces locoregional recurrence and eventually improves survival. The treatment fields applied for breast cancer treatment include: tangential, axillary, supraclavicular and internal mammary ...
