Breast cancer radiotherapy is used for patients at high risk in areas such as family history of heart disease and the use of chemotherapy drugs. Imaging and treatment are performed. Because the most sensitive part of the patient's heart is located in the field of breast radiation therapy, radiation therapy is likely to cause heart complications for the patient. For patients at high risk of heart disease, deep tail radiation therapy is performed and thus the least radiation hits the heart tissue. And the side effects of treatment are greatly reduced. The technique of IMRT or "variable intensity radiation therapy" is another unique new method of radiation therapy.Keywords: Cancer; Cells; Tissues; Tumors; Prevention; Prognosis; Diagnosis; Imaging; Screening; Treatment; Management
