To evaluate the incidence of toxicity in breast cancer with helical tomotherapy (HT).
51 patients with breast cancer were assigned to postoperative radiotherapy by means of HT to the chest wall/breast plus draining nodes. During HT treatment, toxicity was monitored and were assessed using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events 4.0 scale.
Acute skin G3 toxicity observed in 1.9% cases. No acute or late G4 toxicity was observed. At a median follow-up of 21 months 2 patients have late G1 toxicity.
HT was associated with a low incidence of low-grade skin toxicity.
评估螺旋断层放射治疗(HT)在乳腺癌治疗中的毒性发生率。
51例乳腺癌患者通过HT接受胸壁/乳房加引流淋巴结的术后放疗。在HT治疗期间,监测毒性反应,并使用不良事件通用术语标准4.0量表进行评估。
1.9%的病例观察到急性皮肤3级毒性。未观察到急性或晚期4级毒性。在中位随访21个月时,2例患者出现晚期1级毒性。
HT与低级别皮肤毒性的低发生率相关。
