Development of secondary malignancies is a notable issue, especially for organs at risk during radiotherapy.
Findings indicate average radiation doses for the contralateral breast and lung were 0.4 Gy and 0.67 Gy, respectively, with supraclavicular field.
Examination of dose-volume curves in 40 breast cancer patients treated with three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy revealed significant outcomes.
Accurate radiotherapy treatment planning may reduce the incidence of secondary malignancies post-treatment.
