Comparison of radiation dose to the left anterior descending artery by whole and partial breast irradiation in breast cancer patients
2015
Purpose
Breast conserving surgery (BCS) followed by whole breast irradiation (WBI) is the standard of care for breast cancer patients. However, there is a risk of coronary events with WBI therapy. In this study, we compared the radiation dose in the left anterior descending artery (LAD) in patients receiving partial breast irradiation (PBI) with WBI.
