Evaluation of volumetric modulated arc therapy for postmastectomy treatment [PDF]

Radiation Oncology, 2014
To examine the feasibility of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for post mastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT).Fifteen PMRT patients previously treated at our clinic with helical tomotherapy (HT) were identified for the study. Planning target volumes (PTV) included the chest wall and regional lymph nodes.
