Study Summary
This is a pilot study to determine whether the addition of inspiratory hold (breath holding) can decrease the radiation dose that the heart and lung receive for patients being treated for left sided breast cancer.
Primary Outcome
The primary endpoints of this study were to evaluate the feasibility of the combination of prone positioning and RPM pDIPH for breast cancer radiation treatment. Each woman enrolled in the study had 2 radiation plans generated: one for the pFB scan and one for the pDIBH scan. The mean difference between the dosimetrically determined heart, left anterior descending (LAD) artery, and left lung radiation doses were computed with the associated 95% confidence interval; however, the Wilcoxin paired s
