- reproducibility of positioning
Secondary outcome

Background summary
The goal of postoperative radiotherapy after breast conserving therapy is
maximal local control, but we also aim at minimizing the risk of late side
effects such as lung fibrosis and cardiac events. Prone breast irradiation is
one of the techniques to reduce radiation induced toxicity.
Study objective
To compare dose homogeneity and heart and lung doses in supine and prone
position. Furthermore, the reproducibility of prone position will be compared
to standard supine position, and we aim to identify those patients who benefit
most from prone positioning.
Study design
Planningstudy:
one extra CT in prone position before treatment, and two extra CT's (prone and
supine position) at the end of treatment
Study burden and risks
- no extra visits to the departement, prolongation of planned visits of max 1
hour
- the extra radiation dose of the three scans in less than 1% of the given dose
by the treatment
