title: A practical method of delivering the posterior axillary boost for the treatment of patients with breast cancer.
abstract: A practical technique for delivery of the posterior axillary boost is reported. A standard breast board is modified to allow for treatment of all fields in a single clinical set-up, and the posterior boost is delivered through a cut-out in the breast board. This technique is simple, is efficient, and eliminates problems of patient positioning and daily reproducibility.
