PMRT with immediate breast reconstruction is oftena technical problem
• Chest wall coverage and heterogeneities
• Combination with regional nodal irradiation
• Lung and heart avoidance
• Delay in initiation of radiotherapy

Guidelines for volume definition RT & BR:
Means:
• International core consensus group representing all involved professions.
• Evaluate current practices for treatment preparation using a questionnaire: virtual simulation vs. target volume based.
• Contouring exercise to evaluate current practices.
• Define target volume guidelines for the chest wall after the most common types of breast reconstruction (base = DK trial GL).
• Target volume contouring exercise using the guidelines to evaluate consistency and to compare with current practices. ESTRO guidelines: accepted for publication
in Radiother Oncol

Immediate breast reconstruction: today, clinical workHELICAL TOMOTHERAPY® for patients presented with implant breast reconstruction in case of adjuvant radiotherapy for early stage breast cancer: single center experience and review of the literature:
A retrospective study of all patients presented with implant breast reconstruction (IBR) treated by Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) using HT between 2009 and 2016 . All of these patients were selected because the 3D conformal radiotherapy was not acceptable in terms of dose distribution and/or doses to the organs at risk (OAR). All patients received chest wall irradiation and most received with LN irradiation.We studied 179 consecutive patients with 194 treated breasts with adjuvant HT. Of them 19 (10,6%) were presented with IBR. One sarcoma was excluded. Breast cancer concerned the left side in 44.4% (n=8/18). Median age was 44 years old (range 26-82). Median follow-up was 40 months.Half patient (50%) patients were treated for initial treatment of their BC, half (50%) patients were treated for first BC recurrence
