  • Title: [Presentation of a new partial-field blocker for breast-preserving therapy of breast carcinoma].
    Author: Brix F, Jensen JM, Hebbinghaus D.
    Journal: Strahlenther Onkol; 1987 May; 163(5):314-20. PubMed ID: 3589958.
    Abstract:
    A combination of conservative surgery and locoregional radiotherapy is a promising conception for conservative treatment of the so-called little mammary carcinoma. As a further increase of the longterm healing rate is probably almost impossible to achieve, changes of the irradiation technique aim at present only to improve the irradiation quality. With this background, the authors have developed a partial field blocker considering the anatomic and topographic radiophysical features of this therapy method and making possible furthermore various individual treatment modalities. The construction, function and clinical importance of this partial field blocker are described in detail and the physical parameters changing with respect to open field irradiation are discussed.
