A 3D-printed conformal bolus improved radiotherapy for recurrent breast cancer with prosthesis invasion, enabling surgical conversion. This customized approach may enhance local control and facilitate complex tumor resections.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Medical Physics
  • Radiotherapy

Background:

  • Conventional boluses in recurrent breast cancer treatment can create air gaps, leading to suboptimal radiation dose distribution, especially with irregular surfaces.
  • A complex case involved a patient with recurrent breast cancer invading a breast prosthesis, making the tumor unresectable.
  • The goal was to explore the use of a 3D-printed conformal bolus to improve treatment and potentially enable surgical conversion.
