Normal tissue complication probability models of late cardiopulmonary toxicity following deep inspiration breath hold for breast cancer adjuvant radiotherapy

Precision Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
Deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH) markedly cuts heart and left lung radiation doses during left‐sided breast cancer radiotherapy. The normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) model further confirms lower predicted cardiopulmonary toxicities versus free breathing (FB), potentially improving patients’ quality of life.
