Introduction: The purpose of this study was to compare the radiation dose to organs at risk for deep-inspiration breath hold (DIBH) and free-breathing (FB) radiotherapy in patients with lef-sided breast cancer undergoing adjuvant radiotherapy after partial mastectomy. Methods: One hundred patients with left-sided breast cancer underwent DIBH and FB planning computed tomography scans, and the 2 techniques were compared. Dose-volume histograms were analyzed for heart, left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD), and left lung. Results: Radiation dose to heart, LAD, and left lung was significantly lower for DIBH than for free breathing plans. The median mean heart dose for DIBH technique in comparison with FB was 1.21 Gy, and 3.22 Gy respectively; for LAD, 4.67 versus 24.71 Gy; and for left lung 8.32 Gy versus 9.99 Gy. Conclusion: DIBH is an effective technique to reduce cardiac and lung radiation exposure.
