Abstract
Total skin electron beam therapy (TSEBT) in female patients with large or pendulous breasts is usually associated with shaded inframammary folds. In this analysis, 18 patients with cutaneous malignancy and pendulous breasts were irradiated with a radiation bra and five patients received TSEBT without bra. All patients had moderate or severe sagging of the breasts. The median inframammary dose in the radiation bra group was 89% of the prescription dose versus 4% in the group without bra. The usage of the radiation bra enables an adequate radiation dose for the inframammary folds during TSEBT with no additional local irradiation.
