背景资料。乳腺癌保乳手术后应用切向放射治疗时，由于患者的解剖结构和治疗技术的不同，照射野中包含的肺量也会有所不同。多少肺组织可以被意外照射而不出现急性或晚期并发症，这一问题需要定量研究。
Background. When tangential radiation beams are used in patients with breast cancer after breast‐conserving surgery, the amount of lung included in the radiation field varies because of patient anatomy and treatment technique. The question of how much lung tissue can be irradiated incidentally without acute or late complications requires quantitative study.
