N2 - Conventional irradiation of breast and chest wall tumours may cause high doses in underlying organs. Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) with photons achieves high conformity between treated and tumour volume but is associated with considerable low-dose effects which may induce secondary malignancies. We compare treatment plans of electron IMRT to helical photon IMRT and conventional irradiation.
