Description
Two radiation styles for whole-breast treatment with a built-in extra dose are weighed in a 2026 planning study by Gracinda Johansson and co-authors. Ten women treated before for left-sided breast cancer had their standard conformal plans rebuilt as arc therapy plans, then both sets faced dose checks and fake setup errors.
Both styles met all clinical dose rules. Arc plans raised mean heart dose yet cut peak heart dose sharply, a trade the authors call useful. Lung dose split by level, with less mid-dose but more low-dose spread under arcs. Arc plans also matched the boost zone shape better but needed far more machine output and wobbled more under errors in that zone.
