Analysis of Cardiac Substructure Dose in a Large, Multi-Centre Danish Breast Cancer Cohort (the DBCG HYPO trial): Trends and Predictive Modelling.

Conclusion This study reports heart and cardiac substructure doses in a large breast cancer cohort. Predictive models generated in this work can be used to estimate mean cardiac substructure doses for datasets where patient imaging and dose distributions are not available, provided the tangential field techniques are consistent with those used in the trial.
