Abstract
Conclusions: Tomotherapy provides improved target dose homogeneity and conformality over topotherapy. If delivery times are restricted, topotherapy reduces the amount of heart and ipsilateral lung volumes receiving low doses. For whole-breast treatments, topotherapy is an efficient technique that achieves adequate target uniformity while maintaining low doses to sensitive structures.
