Example Breast Plans Using Different RT Techniques and Modalities

Example plans using cardiac-sparing techniques and different target volumes are shown. The selection of techniques and modalities is complex, involving availability of the technology, patient anatomy, and target volumes. All plans shown prescribed 50 Gy in 2-Gy fractions, except partial breast RT was prescribed 30 Gy in 5 fractions. 3DCRT = 3-dimensional conformal radiation therapy; DIBH = deep-inspiration breath hold; IMRT = intensity-modulated radiation therapy; MHD = mean heart dose; RT = radiation therapy; VMAT = volumetric-modulated arc therapy.
