Measurement of skin and target dose in post-mastectomy radiotherapy using 4 and 6 MV photon beams
BACKGROUND: For patients with high risk breast cancer and mastectomy, radiotherapy is the treatment of choice to improve survival and local control. Target dose is mainly limited due to skin reactions. The feasibility of using 4 MV beams for chest wall treatment was studied and compared to standard...
