Abstract
Whole breast radiotherapy (RT) is a standard treatment option for women with early breast cancer following breast conserving surgery. In those with left-sided breast cancers, the use of radiotherapy has been associated with an increase in cardiac death as compared to those women treated with surgery alone. The use of an active breathing control (ABC) device that maintains women in a moderate deep inspiration breath-hold during whole breast RT reduces cardiac exposure. The objective of this study is to identify anatomic features in women requiring the use of the ABC device to facilitate cardiac sparing during breast RT.
