Abstract
Delineation of target and 'organ at risk' volumes is a critical part of modern radiation therapy planning, the next essential step after deciding the indication, patient discussion and image acquisition. Adoption of volume-based treatment planning for non-metastatic breast cancer has increased greatly along with the use of improved planning techniques, essential for modern therapy. However, identifying the vol-umes on a planning CT is no easy task. The current paper is written by ESTRO's breast course faculty, pro-viding tricks and tips for target volume definition and delineation for optimal postoperative breast cancer irradiation.
