Would you treat your left sided breast cancer patients with DIBH (deep inspiration breath hold) and IMRT when the target includes regional lymph nodes?
Do concerns about matching with 3D plans justify IMRT?

I dont believe the issues with matching justify IMRT. I favor 3D with DIBH and potential cardiac block as needed.
