One Week Hypofractionated Adjuvant Radiation for Early Breast Cancer Patients Treated at a Tertiary Cancer Centre in South India: A Comparative Dosimetric Study of Forward Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy (F-IMRT) and Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT)

One Week Hypofractionated Adjuvant Radiation for Early Breast Cancer Patients Treated at a Tertiary Cancer Centre in South India: A Comparative Dosimetric Study of Forward Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy (F-IMRT) and Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT)

Conclusion: F-IMRT provides comparable target coverage to VMAT while significantly reducing radiation exposure to the heart, lungs, and contralateral breast for left-sided breast cancer treatment with DIBH and hypofractionation over 1 week. Given its dosimetric advantages, F-IMRT should be the prefe...
