[Modalities and advantages of image guided radiation therapy of breast cancer in adjuvant setting]. Cancer Radiother. 2018 Aug 22;: Authors: Kammerer E, Fenoglietto P, Bourgier C Abstract In adjuvant setting, breast cancer radiotherapy volumes include whole mammary gland or chest wall, and when indicated, nodal area such as axilla, supraclavicular, and internal mammary chain. An accurate patients positioning is required due to some geometric complexity of target volumes closed to organs at risk as heart and lung. Image guided radiation therapy allows such accuracy. Here we propose a review on image guided radiotherapy for breast cancer. PMID: 30145089 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
