Planning study compares geometric and dosimetric metrics between CPAP and DIBH in left-sided breast cancer radiation therapy, providing comparative evidence for technique selection.
Despite the increasing interest in using continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in radiation therapy (RT), direct comparisons with the more widely used deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) have been limited. This planning study aimed to offer comprehensive geometric and dosimetric evidence by comparing CPAP and DIBH-based RT plans.
