Purpose:
The breast cancer is the most common malignancy among women in our country. In the National Hospital of Oncology we have been treated about 600 patients per year.
The purpose of the study is to present treatment planning protocols for left and right site breast irradiation, when the planning target volume include the involved breast (PTV), and supraclavicular lymph nodes (PTV_SCLN)...

INTRODUCTION:
Volumetric Arc Therapy (VMAT) and Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) have been used in brain radiosurgery in terms of non coplanar rotational arc beams with the aid of circular cones to provide beam collimation. The goal of this study is to evaluate two treatment techniques VMAT and IMRT in the treatment of intracranial metastases and to compare results between them....

For head and neck cancer (H&N) It was compared three treatment techniques as volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy modality sliding Windows (IMRTsw), and Hybrid treatment thechnique (H-VMAT), the latter consists in blend both techniques VMAT and IMRTsw and give different weights for each during planning. The research is to compare the...

**Introduction**
In radiotherapy, intra-fractional movement of organs can cause important discrepancies between planned and delivered dose distributions. The magnitude of the discrepancy will depend on several factors, including the range and direction of organ movement, the margins of the planned distribution, the algorithm used for the dose calculation and the type of treatment, among...
