This book addresses the day-to-day treatment planning issues that radiation oncologists are
likely to encounter during the treatment of breast cancer patients and provides numerous
practical tips that will assist in navigation of the treatment planning process  from
delineation of the tumor boundaries to discrimination of adjacent normal tissues and critical
structures at risk of radiation injury. Differences in target delineation and treatment
planning according to technique are emphasized  with coverage of conventional radiation therapy
and advanced techniques including cardiac-sparing approaches  e.g.  using active breathing
control  intensity-modulated radiation therapy  proton beam therapy  and electron beam therapy
post mastectomy. Individual chapters also focus on radiation setup and verification techniques
and radiation treatment planning systems. The book  which is part of the Springer series
Practical Guides in Radiation Oncology   is designed for hands-on use by radiation oncology
residents fellows in training and practicing radiation oncologists.
