Patients with left-sided breast cancer (LSBC) are at increased risk of cardiac morbidity from adjuvant breast radiation therapy (ABRT). Breath-hold (BH) techniques substantially reduce the radiation received by heart during radiation therapy for LSBC. However, a subset of patients with LSBC are ineligible for BH techniques due to an inability to breath-hold or because of other comorbidities. To reduce radiation to the heart, we routinely use a custom-made breast shell for the treatment of patients with LSBC who are ineligible for BH techniques. This study evaluates the dosimetric impact of using a breast shell for patients with LSBC undergoing ABRT.
