Long-Term Pulmonary Outcomes of a Feasibility Study of Inverse-Planned, Multibeam Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) in Node-Positive Breast Cancer Patients Receiving Regional Nodal Irradiation

BACKGROUND: Multi-beam IMRT enhances the therapeutic index by increasing the dosimetric coverage of the targeted tumor tissues while minimizing volumes of adjacent organs receiving high doses of RT. The tradeoff is that a greater volume of lung is exposed to low doses of RT, raising concern about th...
