Planning in either position was found to achieve adequate coverage of the breast tissue and tumor bed for all patients. Lung was better spared prone. Coverage of axillary nodes was inadequate in either position, but further reduced in the prone vs. supine position. The choice of optimal setup should take into considerations stage and risk of nodal recurrence.
