A

Q

Inflammatory breast cancer: workup, treatment paradigm

A

PET and CT C/A/P neoadjuvant chemo -> mastectomy -> PMRT with regional node irradiation 50 Gy plus 10-16 Gy boost, bolus skin!

Q

Breast: 3D conformal tangents

A

Supine, breast board, wire scar and both breasts, bolus if skin involvment. Set tangents in middle of field, put iso in middle of tangents. Add 0.7cm for breast PTV and crop breast PTV eval off chest wall and 0.5cm off skin. Supine, breast board, wire scar and both breasts, bolus if skin involvment. Set tangents in middle of field, put iso in middle of tangents. Add 0.7cm for breast PTV and crop breast PTV eval off chest wall and 0.5cm off skin.

25
Q

Breast: ddAC+T dose and schedule

A

26
Q

Breast clinical N1

A

mobile axillary nodes

27
Q

Breast: chemo regimen for Her2+

A

AC (60/600) q 3 weeks x 4 followed by paclitaxel weekly (80) x 12.

Start Trastuzumab 4mg/kg with the first dose of paclitaxel then 2 m2/kg weekly during paclitaxel. Then every 3 weeks (6mg/kg) for 1 year.

If doing pertuzumab: Loading dose of 840 mg pert and 8 mg/kg tratuzumab followed by 420 pert and 6 mg/kg tratuzumab every 3 weeks, with 80 mg/m2 paclitaxel weekly for FOUR CYCLES then back to q3 week tratuzumab until 1 year tratuzumab TNBC or BRCA mutation: use platinum regimen

28
Q

Breast path N1a

A

1-3 axillary lymph nodes (at least one >2mm)

29
Q

Breast: APBI EBRT dose, volumes, dosimetry

A

  2. 5cm CTV
  3. 0cm PTV

crop PTV eval off chest wall and 0.5cm skin

Heart, left: V5%<40%

30
Q

Breast: Clinical Tangents

A

wire at clavicle, midline, mid axillary, and 1 cm from inferior. Wire scar. Place calc point at midpoint of beams and 1 cm anterior to chest wallwire at clavicle, midline, mid axillary, and 1 cm from inferior. Wire scar. Place calc point at midpoint of beams and 1 cm anterior to chest wall

31
Q

32
Q

Breast: hypofractionation dosimetry

A

105% volume should be minimized

contralateral breast <2.4 Gy

<15% ipsi lung>16 Gy

<10% contra lung>4 Gy

<5% of heart >16 Gy if left sided

33
Q

Breast path N3a

A

10 or more axillary nodes

34
Q

Breast: double isocenter narrative

A

The patient would be placed in the supine position with breast board. A supraclavicular field would be created using a half beam block at the inferior edge with the isocenter placed at this level. For the tangent field, a second isocenter would be placed at the midpath of the tangents, about 1 cm anterior to the chest well. For the tangents, the couch would be moved away from the gantry and collimator rotated to align the cranial edge of the tangents with the supraclavicular field. The lung would be blocked using MLCs. Alternatively, can rotate the collimator so that the jaw of the collimator blocks the lung in the tangent field, then use MLCs to block the portion of the tangents overlapping the SCV field.
