tlooto Summary

Heart volume in field and maximum heart distance are predictors of cardiac sparing in left sided breast cancer radiotherapy and thresholds of these anatomical predictors can help to select patients for DIBH.

Abstract

Highlights • DIBH results in cardiac sparing in left sided breast cancer radiotherapy.• Heart volume in field and maximum heart distance are predictors of cardiac sparing.• Thresholds of these anatomical predictors can help to select patients for DIBH.
