Comparison of prone and supine positioning for breast cancer radiotherapy using REQUITE data : dosimetry, acute and two years physician and patient-reported outcomes Ghent University KU Leuven
ObjectiveMost patients receive whole breast radiotherapy in a supine position. However, two randomised trials showed lower acute toxicity in prone position. Furthermore, in most patients, prone positioning reduced doses to the organs at risk. To confirm these findings, we compared toxicity outcomes, photographic assessment, and dosimetry between both positions using REQUITE data.MethodsREQUITE is an international multi-centre prospective ...
