Dosimetric analysis of Deep Inspiratory Breath-hold technique (DIBH) in left-sided breast cancer radiotherapy and evaluation of pre-treatment predictors of cardiac doses for guiding patient selection for DIBH

Dosimetric analysis of Deep Inspiratory Breath-hold technique (DIBH) in left-sided breast cancer radiotherapy and evaluation of pre-treatment predictors of cardiac doses for guiding patient selection for DIBH

Introduction: The risk of radiotherapy-associated cardiovascular disease has been a concern for decades in breast cancer survivors. The objective of our study is to evaluate the dosimetric benefit of Deep Inspiratory Breath-hold technique (DIBH) on organs-at-risk (OAR) sparing in left-sided breast c...
