Brass Mesh Bolus in Rotational Post-Mastectomy Radiation Therapy
Sponsor: Nova Scotia Cancer Centre
Summary
The hypothesis is that the daily use of brass mesh bolus achieves a comparable dose to every-other-day use of Superflab bolus (current standard of care) in chest wall post-mastectomy patients treated with rotational 6 MV photon delivery.

Brass Mesh Bolus
During a standard-of-care 15 fraction radiotherapy treatment, a brass mesh bolus will be used for a single fraction. Small in-vivo dosimeters will be used for three treatment fractions to measure and compare skin doses for quantification purposes.
