- Abstract
- It is very important to use effective parameters in the treatment plan of breast cancer patients in TomoDirect (TD)-three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (TD-3DCRT). The objective of this study was to compare the radiation treatment plans to the parameters (jaw width and jaw mode) of TD-3DCRT for left-breast cancer. This study was conducted using the phantom, the jaw mode (fixed and dynamic) and field width (2.5 cm and 5.0 cm) were controlled to compare the TD-3DCRT treatment plans. There was small difference in the conformity index (CI) and homogeneity index (HI) values for target according to the jaw mode for each field width. As a result of observation in terms of dose, treatment time and unnecessary damage to surrounding normal organs could be minimized when dynamic jaw with a field width of 5.0 cm was used. In conclusion, we verified that the use of dynamic jaws and 5.0 cm field width was effective in left-breast cancer radiotherapy plan using TD-3DCRT.
