Rather than a sequential boost, we propose delivering a concomitant boost using intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). IMRT is a sophisticated technique deliberately using multiple non-uniform beams, resulting in complex, conformal dose distributions. This technique offers several advantages. A concomitant IMRT boost potentially offers improved dose distributions by allowing more conformal doses around the boost volume and increased sparing of the remaining breast and adjacent organs at risk. Several studies have shown better target dose homogeneity resulting in less toxicity with adjuvant breast IMRT . One study found a significant reduction in the rates of moist desquamation with IMRT compared to wedged tangential fields (31% vs. 48%, P=0.0014).
