Abstract

The main objective of this study was to compare the mono-isocentric technique (MIT) with the skin-source distance (SSD) technique during radiotherapy breast cancer treatment. The results obtained show that the total number of Monitor Unit (MU) is always lower in MIT. The irradiation of target volumes was significantly improved with the MIT compared to the SSD technique, as well as the homogeneity of the dose distribution. The protection of organs at risk was significantly better with MIT. This study showed that MIT is better than SSD technique; we recommend its implementation in clinical practice for breast cancer radiotherapy treatment.
