Imaging for early stage breast cancer

Summary

there is no „one size fits all” technique for APBI, the best

technique depends on patient anatomy and tumour location

among BT techniques MIBT is the most flexible and protects best

the normal tissues and OAR-s

IMRT and VMAT can provide highly conformal irradiation at the

cost of large volumes of low doses

MIBT spares better the OAR-s than IMRT except for the heart
