A dosimetry study of post-mastectomy radiation therapy with AeroForm tissue expander.

CONCLUSIONS: The AeroForm creates significant dose uncertainties in the chest wall-metal interface. The AcurosXB dose calculation algorithm is recommended for more accurate calculations. If possible, post-mastectomy radiation therapy should be delivered after the permanent implant is in place. PMID: 32614518 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
