Popis: Objectives: To investigate the dosimetric advantages of the voluntary deep inspiration breath-hold technique assisted by optical surface monitoring system for whole breast irradiation in left breast cancer after breast-conserving surgery and verify the reproducibility and acceptability of this technique. Methods: Twenty patients with left breast cancer receiving whole breast irradiation after breast-conserving surgery were enrolled in this prospective phase II study. Computed tomography simulation was performed during both free breathing and voluntary deep inspiration breath-hold for all patients. Whole breast irradiation plans were designed, and the volumes and doses of the heart, left anterior descending coronary artery, and lung were compared between free breathing and voluntary deep inspiration breath-hold. Cone beam computed tomography was performed for the first 3 treatments, then weekly during voluntary deep inspiration breath-hold treatment to evaluate the accuracy of the optical surface monitoring system technique. The acceptance of this technique was evaluated with in-house questionnaires completed by patients and radiotherapists. Results: The median age was 45 (27-63) years. All patients received hypofractionated whole breast irradiation using intensity-modulated radiation therapy up to a total dose of 43.5 Gy/2.9 Gy/15f. Seventeen of the 20 patients received concomitant tumor bed boost to a total dose of 49.5 Gy/3.3 Gy/15f. Voluntary deep inspiration breath-hold showed a significant decrease in the heart mean dose (262 ± 163 cGy vs 515 ± 216 cGy, P
