Balloon-based adjuvant radiotherapy in breast cancer: comparison between 99mTc and HDR 192Ir
Abstract Objective: To perform a comparative dosimetric analysis, based on computer simulations, of temporary balloon implants with 99mTc and balloon brachytherapy with high-dose-rate (HDR) 192Ir, as boosts to radiotherapy. We hypothesized that the two techniques would produce equivalent doses unde...
