| Abstract | Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the dosimetric properties of treatment plans obtained from three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) and intensity-modulated radiotherapy techniques (IMRT) plans for left chest wall breast cancer patients. Materials and methods: A total of 20 patients with left-sided chest wall radiotherapy were randomly selected with the dose prescriptions: 42 Gy and 45 Gy in 15 and 18 fractions, respectively. Treatment plans were obtained using 3D-CRT and IMRT for each patient. Five to seven beams were used for IMRT, while tangential beams were used for 3D-CRT. Planning target volume, D Results: IMRT showed a significant improvement in HI compared to 3D-CRT (p<0.0001). Although there was no significant difference in sparing of the left lung between both plans for high-dose volumes (V20: 18.2 vs 30.55, p<0.0001), (V25: 11.17 vs 28.12, p<0.0001). IMRT however showed supremacy to 3D-CRT with high-dose volumes for the heart, including V20 (4.44 vs 10.29, p = 0.02), V25 (2.08 vs 8.94, p = 0.002). 3D-CRT was better than IMRT in low-dose volumes for left lung (V5: 92.23 vs 56.60, p<0.001; V10: 60.98 vs 47.20, p = 0.04) and heart (V5: 57.45 vs 30.39, p = 0.004). Conclusion: IMRT showed better homogeneity and sparing of high-dose volumes to OAR than 3D-CRT. On the other hand, 3D-CRT showed a reduction of low-dose volumes to OARs than IMRT. |
