Including the internal mammary lymph nodes and internal mammary lymph nodes does not include the 6 MV X ray tangential irradiation without wedge-shaped plate; purely electronic line perpendicular irradiation, even for 6 MeV low-energy electron lines, lung tissue exposed is very serious; 6 MeV electron beam with the skin surface to fill 0.5 cm thick tissue equivalent material and lung tissue exposed less skin dose increased, but the surface of the skin with internal mammary lymph node dose not both take into account; 9 MeV electron beam with the thickness of the skin surface to fill ranging from tissue-equivalent materials may be makes 90% of the equivalent dose, including the skin, chest wall and internal mammary lymph nodes and lung tissue exposed is small; on the skin and internal mammary lymph nodes need to be irradiated by high-volume electronic wire with the surface of the skin tissue equivalent material to fill the vertical than the X-irradiation tangential irradiation has an obvious advantage. Chest wall radiotherapy technique and dose distribution for patients of breast cancer after radical mastectomy Abstract  Sending the CT images of the patients of breast cancer after radical mastectomy to CADPLAN 3D TPS, studying the dose distribution of 6 MV X-ray tangential irradiation and different energy electron ray perpendicular irradiation to chest wall. Some results were presented. Including or not including the intramammary lymph. It is not necessary for 6 MV X beam tangential irradiation to chest wall of the patient of brest cancer after radical mastectomy. Perpendi
