A Prospective Study of Dose Comparison Between Deep Inspiratory Breath Hold (DIBH) Technique Versus Free Breathing (FB) Technique in Reducing Cardiac Dose in Left Sided Post Mastectomy Breast Cancer Patients Treated With Radiotherapy
2022-12-28
Abstract excerpt
Cardiac mortality and morbidity during breast cancer treatment can be caused by both radiotherapy and chemotherapy. As chemotherapy cannot be omitted due its proven overall survival benefit, newer radiotherapy techniques like DIBH with real time position monitoring (RPM), have been devised to minimise dose to the heart without compromising target coverage. Very sparse prospective data look into the benefit of DIBH...
