Table 6.
The sum of the specific weights of each parameter in each technique for left-sided advanced breast cancer, comparison with the highest sum and a check by t-test. The specific weight for the comparison of each parameter in each technique is defined as “0”, “1” and “2” when p values were > 0.05, ≤ 0.05 and ≤ 0.001, respectively
