Eligible breast cancer patients will receive hypofractionated radiotherapy of 2.67 Gy for 16 fractions (and sequential tumor bed boost of 2.67 Gy for 4 fractions in patients with intact breast) to ipsilateral chest wall or whole breast and regional lymph regions (including supraclavicular and internal mammary lymph nodes) at the discrection of radition oncologists. CTV including breast/chest wall and regional nodes will be contoured according to RTOG contouring atlas. Integrated multi-beam IMRT plan will be generated and optimized using our predefined protocol for OAR constrains and target coverage. All integrated IMRT plans will be designed using the Eclipse™ Treatment Planning System. All these tight margin IMRT plan will be passed in pre-treatment dry run with the motion management workflow involved and the target coverage during the treatment will be confirmed. The plans which pass the above on-line verification will then be de-identified and transferred to RapidPlan configuration workspace for RNI model training and verification.All enrolled patients will be regularly followed up during and after RT. Acute and late toxicity will be documented as well as tumor control endpoints.
The purpose of this trial is to establish a feasible DVH estimation model of integrated IMRT plan for HF-RNI with Eclipse™ Treatment Planning System and a Varian RapidPlan™ model based on the above DVH constraints.
