Brief Summary:
A Prospective Study on the Application of Lateral Decubitus Position in Patients with Left Breast Cancer Undergoing Adjuvant Radiotherapy
Detailed Description:
This clinical study is a randomized, non-blind, single-center prospective clinical trial. It recruits patients with left breast cancer who are undergoing postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy. After signing the informed consent form, the clinical physician evaluates the patient's deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) ability and cooperation. Patients who meet the DIBH technical requirements will be randomly assigned to the DIBH supine radiotherapy group or the DIBH lateral decubitus radiotherapy group. Patients who do not meet the DIBH technical requirements will be randomly assigned to the free breathing (FB) supine radiotherapy group or the FB lateral decubitus position radiotherapy group. A total of 86 patients will be recruited. Patients who undergo lateral decubitus radiotherapy will undergo two positional fixation sessions, one in the lateral decubitus position and another one in the supine position. A CT scan will be performed in both positions. Patients using DIBH undergo scans in both FB and DIBH positions. The radiation oncologist will delineate the target area and organs at risk on the CT images, while the physicist will develop the intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) plan. After evaluating the two treatment plans, the best plan will be selected for treatment. Baseline evaluations will be completed before the radiotherapy, and follow-up evaluations will be conducted on the day of treatment completion, as well as at 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months after treatment. This study aims to explore the cardiac dose advantages of lateral decubitus radiotherapy in left breast cancer patients undergoing postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy. It also seeks to identify potential indicators for predicting early cardiac damage in breast cancer patients undergoing adjuvant radiotherapy. The study will effectively integrate multimodal, multidimensional feature information and multi-class models, designing a feedback mechanism to explore the risk factors associated with radiation-induced heart disease (RIHD) and predict the occurrence risk of RIHD in breast cancer patients receiving radiotherapy.
