NSM (85.0% and 81.0%, respectively). They considered

age, lymph node involvement, tumor size, extracapsular

extension, involved surgical margins, lymphovascular

invasion, triple negative receptor status and multicentric

tumor as major risk factors. Considering tumor size, lymph

node involvement and age as recurrence risk factors, the

most-often suggested cut-off thresholds of those features

were 5 cm, > 3 lymph nodes and 40 years old, respectively.

Considering that after SSM and NSM, residual breast tissue

can be left behind, the residual tissue considered as

acceptable in the context of an oncologic surgery were 1

to 5 mm and 6 to 10 mm for 55% and 21% of the responders,

respectively. There is no consensus for the necessity of

evaluating residual breast tissue through breast imaging.

Conclusion

Although

the

indications

of

post-

operative radiation therapy after SSM and NSM are not well

defined, all standard relapse risk factors were considered

as important, by surgeons, with regards to referring for

post-operative radiation therapy.

Purpose or Objective

Intrafraction motion is of special interest in modern breast

cancer radiotherapy. Respiratory motion during intensity-

modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) can cause problems in

inadequate planning target margins or IMRT delivery. To

date, only few data exist on real-time measured

intrafraction motion in breast cancer patients. Continuous

surface imaging using visible light offers the possibility to

monitor patients’ movements in 3D-space without any

additional radiation exposure.

Material and Methods

We observed thirty-one patients during 629 fractions that

underwent postoperative radiotherapy following breast

conserving surgery or mastectomy. During each treatment

session the motion of the patient was continuously

measured using the Catalyst

TM

optical surface scanner (C-

RAD AB, Sweden) and compared to a reference scan taken

at the beginning of each session. The Catalyst

TM

system

works through an optical surface scanning with LED light

(blue: λ = 450 nm) and reprojection captured by a CCD

camera (green: λ = 528 nm; red: λ = 624 nm), which

provide target position control during treatment delivery.

For 3D surface reconstruction, the system uses a non-rigid

body algorithm to calculate the distance between the

surface and the isocenter and using the principle of optical

triangulation. Three-dimensional deviations and relative

position differences during the whole treatment fraction

were calculated by the system and analyzed statistically.

Results

Overall, the magnitude of the deviation vector showed a

mean change of 1.3 mm +/- 0.4 mm (standard deviation)

and a median change of 1.1 mm during dose application

(beam-on time only). Along the lateral and longitudinal

axis changes were quite similar (0.9 mm +/- 0.3 mm vs.

0.9 mm +/- 0.5 mm), on the vertical axis the mean change

was 1.1 mm +/- 0.3 mm. The mean net beam-on time of

radiation therapy was 2.8 minutes. There was no linear

correlation between the length of the fraction and the

magnitude of deviation. Pearson’s correlation coefficient

between mean time and mean magnitude of deviation

vector over all patients was 0.25 (p-value= 0.175).

Conclusion

Mean real-time intrafraction motion was within two

millimeters in all directions and is therefore of minor

clinical relevance in postoperative radiotherapy of breast

cancer.

Purpose or Objective

To investigate how much respiratory manner of breast

cancer patients during external beam radiotherapy would

affect their heart dose.

Material and Methods

21 patients with left breast cancer underwent CT

simulation without contrast in one day and two positions;

breath hold and free breathing, prospectively. Two CT

image sets were imported to treatment planning system

(Eclipse, version 6). Volumes of PTV (that included breast

and chest wall), heart and ipsilateral lung in both image

sets were contoured by an individual radiation oncologist.

An experienced physicist designed the plans for both CTs.

Prescribed dose was 50 Gy in 25 fractions for all included

cases. Plans were then confirmed by the oncologist and

heart and lung dose volume parameters were

exported. Lung and heart Volumes, their V30 and V22.5

and also mean heart dose (MHD) in two condition were

studied and analyzed.

Results

Mean age of patients was 46.9±12.1.Twelve patients had

done MRM and 9 of them had done BCS. Mean heart

volume, its V30, V22.5 and MHD in two breathing

conditions, breath hold and free breathing, were 519±108

and 526±107 (P=0.545), 1.89±2.41 and 62.88±2.04

(P=0.030) , 2.41±2.68 and 4.35±3.42 (P=0.048) and

0.98±0.7 and 1.42±0.5 (P=0.002), respectively. Also left

lung volume and V30 of lung in breath hold and free

breathing modes were 1763±315 and 1114±219 (P<0.001)

and 8.72±3.27 and 8.92±4.29 (P=0.819) respectively.

Person correlation did not show linear relation between

lung volume and its mentioned DVH parameters; for MHD

obtained r=-0.421 (P=0.057), for heart V30 and V22.5

obtained r=-0.500 (P=0.021) and obtained r=-0.371

(P=0.097) and also, for heart volume r=0.032 (P=0.889).

Conclusion

All MHD and heart V30 and V22.5 variables were

significantly higher with deep breathing in our study. It

was shown that irritated heart volume was reduced

significantly in this condition. V30 of lung were lower in

deep breathing so deep breathing can be efficient method

Purpose or Objective

There is a potential for adverse cardiovascular effects in

long-term breast cancer survivors following adjuvant

radiotherapy (RT). For this purpose, the deep inspiration

breath-hold technique (DIBH) has been introduced into

clinical practice, to maximally reduce the radiation dose

to the heart. In the present study radiotherapy in DIBH was

applied using the optical surface scanning system

Catalyst

TM

/Sentinel

TM

.

Material and Methods

A total of 38 patients with left-sided breast cancer

following breast conserving surgery were analysed.

Normofractionated and hypofractionated radiotherapy

protocols were eligible for this prospective clinical trial.

Patient surface data and respiratory parameters were

acquired using the laser surface scanner Sentinel
