Purpose. To develop and disseminate a report aimed primarily at practicing radiation
oncology physicians and medical physicists that describes the current state-of-the-art of …

Purpose: Radiation therapy (RT) for left-sided breast cancer has been associated with
cardiac dysfunction. We herein assess the temporal nature and volume dependence of RT …

Clinical conformal radiotherapy is the holy grail of radiation treatment and is now becoming
a reality through the combined efforts of physical scientists and engineers, who have …

PURPOSE: To study the potential risk factors, including radiotherapy (RT) for contralateral
breast cancer (CBC), in patients treated for early-stage breast cancer. METHODS AND …

Purpose: To present our clinical experience using intensity-modulated radiation therapy
(IMRT) to improve dose uniformity and treatment efficacy in patients with early-stage breast …

Purpose: We present a new technique to improve dose uniformity and potentially reduce
acute toxicity with tangential whole-breast radiotherapy (RT) using intensity-modulated …

Radiotherapy after conservation surgery has been proven to decrease local relapse and
death from breast cancer, and is now firmly established in the management of early breast …

Purpose: To determine the intra-and interobserver variation in delineation of the target
volume of breast tumors on computed tomography (CT) scans in order to perform conformal …

Purpose: The main purpose of this work is to reduce the cardiac and lung dose by applying
conformal tangential beam irradiation of the intact left breast with and without intensity …

PURPOSE: To evaluate a hybrid intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) technique as
a class solution for treatment of the intact breast. METHODS AND MATERIALS: The …
