Özet

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to compare the dosimetries of three different external beam whole breast radiotherapy techniques: two-dimensional RT (2D-RT), three-dimensional conformal RT (3D-CRT), and field-in-field intensity-modulated RT (FiF-IMRT). In addition, we aimed to evaluate the patients who needed more or less complex treatment modalities.
