Whole breast radiotherapy in the lateral isocentric lateral decubitus position: Long-term efficacy and toxicity results.

Purpose: To evaluate previously published whole breast radiotherapy (WBRT) using ILD (isocentring lateral decubitus) technique in terms of toxicity and efficacy.

Materials And Methods: From 2006 to 2010, 832 female patients with early-stage breast cancer (BC) treated by conservative surgery underwent 3D-conformal WBRT-ILD at Institut Curie. The acute toxicity of treatment was evaluated weekly and the late toxicity (6months and later after the treatment) was evaluated every 6months till the 5th year after the end of the radiotherapy using NCI CTC v3.
