Dosimetric Comparison of Three Radiotherapy Techniques in Irradiation of Left-Sided Breast Cancer Patients after Radical Mastectomy.

Conclusions: Our study indicates that VMAT should be a better choice of radiotherapy for left-sided breast cancer patients after radical mastectomy. If VMAT is unavailable, 9FIMRT can achieve better CI and HI values and be more MU-efficient compared with TSP; however, TSP can effectively reduce the low dose volume of the ipsilateral lungs and heart.
