Abstract
Prone whole breast irradiation (WBI) has shown promise in reducing radiation-related toxicities in patients with large, pendulous breasts undergoing breast conserving therapy. However, there has been concern that volume of irradiated breast in the prone position is insufficient and may lead to more frequent treatment failures. Our institution has used CT volume based 3D conformal radiation therapy (3DCRT) to deliver prone WBI for large, pendulous breasts and/or large body habitus and has demonstrated favorable toxicity profiles and cosmetic outcomes.
