Abstract
Purpose: Set out and substantiate basing on contemporery data and personal experience the key features and nuances of topometric preparation and contouring of the irradiated volumes when planning external beam radiation therapy in breast cancer patients after immediate reconstruction with usage of synthetic materials.
Materials and methods: In terms of this article are outlined the main provisions regarding topometric preparation, the need of expander deflation, the determination of irradiated volumes, and the effects of the metal port of the expander on the dose distribution.
Results: Evidence-based recommendations on the implementation of such stages of the technological chain of external beam radiation therapy, as topometric preparation and contouring of irradiated volumes in patients with breast cancer after immediate reconstruction with synthetic materials, are briefly presented.
