Whole Breast Radiation -- Post-Mastectomy Radiation -- Techniques for Internal Mammary Node Radiation -- Target Delineation and Contouring -- Accelerated Partial Breast Irradiation -- Deep Inspiration Breath Hold -- Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy -- Techniques for Proton Radiation -- Hyperthermia in Locally Recurrent Disease.
This book addresses the day-to-day treatment planning issues that radiation oncologists are likely to encounter during the treatment of breast cancer patients and provides numerous practical ztipsy that will assist in navigation of the treatment planning process, from delineation of the tumor boundaries to discrimination of adjacent normal tissues and critical structures at risk of radiation injury. Differences in target delineation and treatment planning according to technique are emphasized, with coverage of conventional radiation therapy and advanced techniques including cardiac-sparing approaches, e.g., using active breathing control, intensity-modulated radiation therapy, proton beam therapy, and electron beam therapy post mastectomy. Individual chapters also focus on radiation setup and verification techniques and radiation treatment planning systems. The book, which is part of the Springer series Practical Guides in Radiation Oncology, is designed for hands-on use by radiation oncology residents/fellows in training and practicing radiation oncologists.
