Summary

We hypothesize that for large pendulous breasts, breast irradiation in supine and prone position are equivalent with regard to coverage of the PTV, but with a better dose homogeneity in prone position and a smaller radiation exposure of lung and heart.The purpose of this study is to compare the 3-D dose distribution in PTV(Planning Target Volume) and normal tissues in prone position versus supine position.
