Secondary cancer risk after Whole-breast radiation therapy: Field-in-Field versus Intensity-Modulated radiation therapy versus Volumetric-Modulated arc therapy.

CONCLUSION: The overall estimation of EAR indicated that the radiation-induced cancer risk of breast radiation therapy was lower with FinF than with IMRT and VMAT. Therefore, when secondary cancer risk is a major concern, FinF is considered to be the preferred treatment option in irradiation of whole-breast. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: Secondary malignancy estimation after breast radiotherapy is becoming an important subject for comparative treatment planning.When secondary cancer risk a major concern, FinF technique is considered the preferred treatment option in whole breast patients.
