Assessing radiation exposure of the left anterior descending artery, heart and lung in patients with left breast cancer: A dosimetric comparison between multicatheter accelerated partial breast irradiation and whole breast external beam radiotherapy

摘要

Background and purpose: This study aims to quantify dosimetric reduction to the left anterior descending (LAD) artery, heart and lung when comparing whole breast external beam radiotherapy (WBEBRT) with multicatheter accelerated partial breast irradiation (MCABPI) for early stage left breast cancer.
