Contour-based lung dose prediction for breast proton therapy.

CONCLUSION: A contour-based model was established to predict dose to ipsilateral lung in breast treatment. Clinically relevant accuracy was demonstrated. This model facilitates dose prediction before treatment planning. It could serve as a guide toward realistic clinical goals in the planning stage. PMID: 30141230 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
