Sažetak
The intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) of breast cancer is a newer irradiation technique used at the University Hospital for Tumors (University Hospital Center Sestre Milosrdnice, Zagreb, Croatia).Two IMRT radiotherapy techniques was used to treat patient with breast cancer. Forward intensity modulated radiotherapy (fIMRT) is a planning technique in which dose distribution, accomplished by main beams, is improved by additional conformed beams. Inverse intensity modulated
radiotherapy (iIMRT) is a planning technique in which the terms of irradiation are set to the computer, and planning system is making the optimal intense modulated plan. We showed that it was possible to compare fIMRT and iIMRT results. Because of the treatment plan simplicity, shorter irradiation time and bett er dose control, fIMRT remains a method of choice at the University Hospital for Tumors.
