Clinical Trial
The use of molecular imaging to evaluate radiation fields in the adjuvant setting of breast cancer: a feasibility study.
To evaluate standard radiation fields in locally advanced breast cancer using the information of a preoperative FDG-PET showing lymph node involvement. ⋯ Standard radiation portals in postoperative radiation therapy in breast cancer with lymph node involvement do not automatically result in an adequate dose delivery to the region of highest biological activity. With these preliminary results in a small series it was found feasible to correct this without compromising the dose to the CTV or lungs for patients in whom a preoperative FDG-PET shows nodal involvement.
