Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Based upon literature and our own preliminary experiences, we hypothesize that for large pendulous breasts, breast irradiation in supine and prone position are equivalent with regard to coverage of the PTV, but with a better dose homogeneity in prone position and a smaller radiation exposure of lung and heart. However, no quantitative data are yet available to test this hypothesis. Therefore, the aim of our study is to compare the 3-D dose distribution in PTV and normal tissues in prone position versus supine position. For treatment in prone-position an in-house developed device, the "mammaboard" was used.
