Dosimetric Characteristics of IMRT versus 3DCRT for Intact Breast Irradiation with Simultaneous Integrated Boost

Abstract

Whole breast irradiation is part of breast conservative management for early breast cancer. Simultaneous Integrated Boost methods are used for head & Neck and Prostate cancers. Most recently SIB for intact breast is gaining interest. In this study we attempt to compare and analyze the dosimetric aspects of Simultaneous Integrated Boost technique (SIB) of IMRT over 3DCRT
