Highlights • DIBH results in cardiac sparing in left sided breast cancer radiotherapy. • Heart volume in field and maximum heart distance are predictors of cardiac sparing. • Thresholds of these anatomical predictors can help to select patients for DIBH. Introduction The risk of radiotherapy-associated cardiovascular disease has been a concern for decades in breast cancer survivors. The objective of our study is to evaluate the dosimetric benefit of Deep Inspiratory Breath-hold technique (DIBH) on organs-at-risk (OAR) sparing in left-sided breast cancer radiotherapy and to find out pre-treatment predictors of cardiac doses for guiding patient selection for DIBH. Material and methods Pre-radiotherapy planning CT scans were done in Free Breathing (FB) and in DIBH [using Active Breathing Coordinator system (ABC™)] in 31 left sided breast cancer patients. 3DCRT plans were generated for both scans. Comparison of anatomical and dosimetric variables were done using paired t test and correlation was evaluated using Pearson correlation. Linear regression was used to get independent predictors of cardiac sparing and Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was done to find out the specific threshold of the predictors. Results There was a 39.15% reduction in mean heart dose in DIBH compared to FB (2.4 Gy vs 4.01 Gy) (p |
