Minimum breast distance largely explains individual variability in doses to contralateral breast from breast-cancer radiotherapy.
CONCLUSION: The results enable personalized assessment of CB doses from tangential whole-breast irradiation, based only on parameters assessable from CT data. This may help support clinical decision-making processes as well as analyse retrospective studies on CB risks.
