Abstract
Radiation therapy will continue to play a major role in the curative management of patients with mammary carcinoma. For this reason, a comparison was made of the dose distributions and techniques used by several leading institutions in the treatment of the chest wall and internal mammary nodes. The dose distributions within the treatment volumes were similar. However, some unique differences within the treatment volume, as well as in the skin and superficial tissues were found.Keywords
