Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of a device that helps coordinate the breathing cycle in the radiation treatment of the breast in order to minimize the radiation dose to the normal structures around the breast.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Active Breathing Coordinator (ABC)

The generated dose distributions from the free-breathing versus ABC plans will be compared to assess the volume of normal tissue, as well as target volume irradiated, utilizing dose-volume histograms.
