Breast radiotherapy using a breast cup: moving the target, not the patient.: Breast cup radiotherapy

ConclusionUse of the breast cup in breast radiotherapy decreases dose to underlying organs at risk, and is cost effective. It can be easily integrated with DIBH, IMRT and VMAT techniques. With use of the device a supine patient position can be maintained, meaning nodal regions can be treated mono-isocentrically.
