Abstract

Accelerated radiation therapy over three weeks is safe and effective for whole breast radiation therapy. The prone position improves normal tissue toxicity while maintaining target coverage. Based on our initial dosimetric studies, we implemented a prospective clinical trial to evaluate the feasibility and tolerability of prone accelerated intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) to treat the breast, level III axilla, and supraclavicular lymph nodes in breast cancer patients who had undergone axillary dissection with involved lymph nodes.
