Prediction Factors of Radiation Esophagitis in Breast Cancer Patients Undergoing Supraclavicular Radiotherapy.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate demographic and dosimetric parameters which may link with esophagitis in patients with breast cancer receiving three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy to the supraclavicular fossa.

Materials And Methods: We examined 27 breast cancer patients with supraclavicular metastases. All patients were treated with radiotherapy (RT) with a prescribed dose of 40.
