Adjuvant Radiation Treatment of Breast Cancer After Mastectomy: Advanced Algorithms and Partial Bolus Improve the Dose Calculation Accuracy in the Case of Thin-Chest-Wall Irradiation

Adjuvant Radiation Treatment of Breast Cancer After Mastectomy: Advanced Algorithms and Partial Bolus Improve the Dose Calculation Accuracy in the Case of Thin-Chest-Wall Irradiation

Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine measured and calculated dose distributions in a thin-chest-wall phantom and estimate the variations in the dose-volume histogram (DVH) parameters used in plan evaluation for patient geometries with chest-wall thicknesses <15 mm with and without bolus...
