Recently, the Radiotherapy Center of Ganzhou Cancer Hospital successfully performed precise radiotherapy for a patient with left-sided breast cancer after surgery using deep inspiration followed by breath hold (DIBH) radiotherapy technology. This is the first time that medical institutions in our province have carried out DIBH technology, filling the gap in the province.
In July 2021, Ms. Yang was diagnosed with breast cancer at Ganzhou Cancer Hospital. After 6 cycles of neoadjuvant therapy, the mass was significantly reduced, and breast-conserving surgery was successfully performed. According to the guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer, all breast-conserving patients need to supplement postoperative radiotherapy. After comprehensive analysis and research, the hospital believes that Ms. Yang meets the requirements for the application of DIBH technology. Therefore, from the pre-radiotherapy assessment, breath-holding training, CT positioning, plan formulation and implementation, the hospital’s radiotherapy team maintains close interaction and guidance with patients, and the entire process is strictly controlled by a sophisticated imaging system and a professional radiotherapy team. control.
