The results reported by Damast et al (2006) showed a maximum dose reduction of 22 and 16% at 2 cm away from magnetic port for the 6 and 15 MV beams, respectively 1
The maximum uncertainty of Monte Carlo (MC) calculated data was better than 1%.The present depth dose (PDD) curves with and without the magnetic port located in depth of 1.5 cm, 10 and 20 cm were calculated
Summary
It has been known that breast cancer patients have risk to recurrence of the disease. This locoregional recurrence occurs generally in the postmastectomy chest wall and/or regional nodal basins, including the axillary, supraclavicular and internal mammary regions. Many breast cancer patients have tumors with size >5 cm and almost with four or more captured axillary lymph nodes 1. There are complications in more than 50% patients who underwent postmastectomy breast reconstruction and need postoperative radiotherapy for local control and survival advantages 2, 3. Breast cancer patients with surgical mastectomy are recommended to breast reconstructions to enhance the women’s body symmetry, the positive aesthetic and psychological results and to gain the good feeling 4. Tissue expanders provide excellent symmetry for breast reconstruction and make color and tissue appearance like to the natural skin
