Simultaneous integrated boost by Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (SIB-IMRT) in patients undergoing breast conserving surgery - A clinical and dosimetric perspective.

Aim: To study feasibility of simultaneous integrated boost by intensity modulated radiotherapy (SIB-IMRT) in patients undergoing breast conserving surgery and its impact on cosmesis and dosimetry.

Patients And Methods: Between January 2014 and June 2017, all breast cancer patients fulfilling inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled in a prospective study conducted at a tertiary cancer centre in North India.
