Abstract
Current standard radiation fields to the supraclavicular fossa, as applied in this study, leave apical axillary lymph nodes untreated in a high proportion of patients. Standard lung shielding, as applied in this study to patients simulated for axillary radiotherapy, protect medial axillary lymph nodes in a few patients. A change in practice is recommended.
