Cost-effectiveness of using protons in breast cancer patients aiming at reducing cardiotoxicity: A risk-stratification analysis

2021-11-12

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Purpose Incidental exposure of heart to ionizing irradiation is associated with an increased risk of ischemic heart disease (IHD) in breast cancer patients after radiotherapy. Intensity-modulated proton radiation therapy (IMPT) offers a promise in limiting the mean heart dose (MHD) in breast irradiation to a negligible level. However, the uncertainty in cost-effectiveness hinders its u...
