Assessment of cardiac radiation dose in the Co-60 prone-based stereotactic partial breast irradiation using distance metrics
Leveraging its sharp dose fall-off characteristic, the GP treatment delivery system facilitates the delivery of five-fraction APBI while maintaining acceptable cardiac dosimetry parameters. This is particularly advantageous for tumors situated further from the heart because heart doses dissipate with distance. The estimates of heart dose based on the distance to the heart and LAD from PTV have the potential to serve as a valuable tool for clinicians, aiding in more refined risk evaluation and patient selection for CP-sPBI.
