  • Title: Radiotherapy in early stage Hodgkin's lymphoma: The importance of volume and treatment position.
    Author: Reymen B, Spiessens S, Lievens Y.
    Journal: Radiother Oncol; 2010 May; 95(2):225-8. PubMed ID: 20153905.
    Abstract:
    This planning study in Hodgkin's disease confirmed smaller irradiated volumes and subsequently lower doses to lungs, heart and breasts for involved node radiotherapy compared to involved field irradiation. However, shifting the arms from alongside the body to above the head offsets the observed benefit on dose to heart and breasts.
