Conclusions –
Innovations in breast cancer RT
- Shorter duration of overall treatment time:
•
Hypofractionation
•
Accelerated Partial breast irradiation
- Reduced toxicity:
•
Simultaneously Integrated Boost on tumor bed
•
Optimal cardiac sparing with Breath hold technique
•
Regional RT instead of axillary lymph node dissection
•
Accelerated partial breast RT
•
VMAT may be promising in breast radiotherapy in ‘special cases’
e.g regional RT including internal mammary nodes, funnel chest
