A Prospective Trial to Compare Deep Inspiratory Breath Hold (DIBH) With Prone Breast Irradiation

NCT03437161 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 40

Summary

This phase II trial studies how well deep inspiratory breath hold or prone breast radiation therapy works in reducing cardiac dose in patients with breast cancer or ductal carcinoma in situ. Deep inspiratory breath hold is a technique that involves a patient holding their breath during radiation to move the heart away from the breast to minimize radiation to the heart. Prone breast radiation therapy is a technique in which a patient receives treatment "face-down" to minimize the radiation to the rest of the body, including the heart and lungs. Comparing deep inspiratory breath hold to prone breast radiation therapy may help doctors improve radiation to the target while reducing radiation to healthy tissues surrounding the target.
