Investigation of patient characteristics associated with setup errors in intensity-modulated radiotherapy after breast-conserving surgery
Background and purpose: Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is a widely used radiotherapy technique in whole breast irradiation. Therefore, planning target volume (PTV), with appropriate margins from clinical target volume (CTV), would adequately account for the setup uncertainty. However,...
