Figures & data

Table 1. Patient and disease characteristics.

Figure 2. The mean dose to the (a) lungs, (b) heart, (c) LAD, (d) right breast and (e) left breast for free breathing (FB) 3-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT), deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH) 3D-CRT, FB volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), DIBH VMAT, FB intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) and DIBH IMPT. The values for each individual patient are shown in black and the median values for the whole patient cohort in red.
