Abstract
Radiation therapy of the primary tumor can be a stage of treatment of patients with initial IV stage breast cancer, being delievered out not only in purpose of decreasing symptom’s severity, but with an increase of progression-free survival.Modern technologies of radiation therapy, including intensity-modulated radiotherapy and radiation therapy with deep inspiration under the control of breathing (Respiratory Gating), can significantly reduce dose to risk organs and ensure a homogeneous isodose distribution in the irradiated area, which is especially important in patients receiving systemic treatment, which in itself has clinically significant cardio- and pulmonotoxicity.The presented clinical case demonstrates the possibility of dose reduction to organs at risk with usage of modern technologies of conformal radiation therapy.
