Abstract
Aims
To conduct a systematic review of breast cancer radiotherapy studies reporting a comparison of proton beam therapy (PBT) in deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH) and in free breathing (FB).
Methods and materials
Studies comparing DIBH and FB proton beam therapy plans, in the same patient, published between 2015 and 2023 were included. Doses to organs at risk were compared between DIBH and FB plans.
Results
Nine papers were identified for inclusion, reporting on 97 patients in total. All plans were for left-sided treatment. Average weighted mean heart dose was 0.31 Gy for DIBH and 0.48 Gy for FB. Average weighted mean left lung dose was 5.27 Gy for DIBH and 4.80 Gy for FB. Average weighted mean near maximum/maximum left anterior descending artery dose was 6.49 Gy for DIBH and 8.74 Gy for FB.
Conclusion
Based on the current literature, it does not appear that DIBH offers a marked dosimetric benefit to most breast cancer patients treated with PBT. However, the benefits of combining PBT and DIBH for individual breast RT patients cannot be excluded.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Oncology is an International cancer journal covering all aspects of the clinical management of cancer patients, reflecting a multidisciplinary approach to therapy. Papers, editorials and reviews are published on all types of malignant disease embracing, pathology, diagnosis and treatment, including radiotherapy, chemotherapy, surgery, combined modality treatment and palliative care. Research and review papers covering epidemiology, radiobiology, radiation physics, tumour biology, and immunology are also published, together with letters to the editor, case reports and book reviews.
