Abstract
Feasibility of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for partial breast irradiation (PBI) with simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) to tumour bed was investigated. Four plans were created for 10 patients: 30 Gy/5 fractions, 26 Gy/5 fractions with 30 Gy SIB, 40.05 Gy/15 fractions, and 40.05 Gy/15 fractions with 48 Gy SIB. SIB in the 5 fraction arm had reduced ipsilateral breast dose relative to uniform dose. SIB in the 15 fraction arm had noninferior conformity compared to uniform dose. Addition of SIB did not increase other organ-at-risk doses or plan complexity. VMAT PBI with SIB was feasible for both fractionation regimens.
