Abstract
Purpose: Breast cancer is nowadays diagnosed at an earlier stage and the overall survival has improved. For these early stages, treatment includes a lumpectomy followed by breast radiotherapy (XRT) to ensure a local control similar to mastectomy. Several adjuvant radiation techniques are currently available including whole or partial breast XRT. XRT increases the risk of secondary cancer which might result from unwanted radiation scatter. The objective of this study is to compare the range of radiation scatter for different techniques of breast XRT and to discuss the clinical consequences.
