Left-sided breast cancer radiotherapy has been associated with an increase in cardiac mortality. This study investigated the potential heart-sparing effect of volumetric-modulated arc (VMAT). We compared VMAT to tangential intensity-modulated (t-IMRT) loco-regional treatment left-sided cancer, including internal mammary nodal irradiation, based on deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) and free-breathing (FB).Radiotherapy for 15 patients was re-planned. Four plans were compared: t-IMRT-DIBH;...
