Abstract

Adjuvant radiotherapy for breast cancer can lead to late cardiac complications. The highest radiation doses are likely to be to the anterior portion of the heart, including the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD). The purpose of this work was to assess the radiation doses delivered to the heart and the LAD in respiration-adapted radiotherapy of patients with left-sided breast cancer.
