Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy for 26 Gy in 5 Fractions Whole Breast Irradiation for Breast Cancer
The application of VMAT in ultrahypofractionation can enhance target coverage while maintaining radiation doses to organs at risk low, albeit with an increase in contralateral breast dose compared with 3D-CRT. Given the low toxicity profile observed in our cohort with VMAT-uHF, the clinical significance of these dosimetric differences requires further investigation.
