Evaluation of variability in seroma delineation between clinical specialist radiation therapist and radiation oncologist for adjuvant breast irradiation

Following specialized education and training, the CSRT delineated seroma targets clinically comparable with those of the radiation oncologists in women with early breast tumors suitable for accelerated partial breast or whole breast radiotherapy following lumpectomy. This study provides support for potential task delegation of breast seroma delineation to the CSRT in our current multidisciplinary environment. Further study is needed to assess the impact of this role expansion on radiotherapy system efficiency.
