Adaptive Lumpectomy Boost Planning Can Reduce Normal Tissue Exposure in Patients Receiving Hypofractionated Whole Breast Irradiation

Adaptive Lumpectomy Boost Planning Can Reduce Normal Tissue Exposure in Patients Receiving Hypofractionated Whole Breast Irradiation

Background/Aim: To evaluate the change in lumpectomy cavity (LPC) volume during hypofractionated radiation (Hypo-RT) and assess the dosimetric benefits of adaptive boost planning on normal tissue exposure in breast cancer patients. Patients and Methods: Two separate computed tomography (CT) simulati...
