pubmed:abstractText |
Intracavitary accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) has become a popular treatment for early stage breast cancer in recent years due to its shortened course of treatment and simplified treatment planning compared to traditional external beam breast conservation therapy. However, the exit dose to the skin is a major concern and can be a limiting factor for these treatments. Most treatment planning systems (TPSs) currently used for high dose-rate (HDR) 192Ir brachytherapy overestimate the exit skin dose because they assume a homogeneous water medium and do not account for finite patient dimensions. The purpose of this work was to quantify the TPS overestimation of the exit skin dose for a group of patients and several phantom configurations.
