Setup Variation in the Supraclavicular Lymph Nodes Treatment in Breast Cancer Patients

Completed

Conditions studied: Breast Cancer

In brief

The goal of this clinical research study is to use the On Board Imager kilovoltage (OBI KV) system and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scanning or CT-on-rail system to look at how well a routine device called an electronic portal imaging device (EPID) can set up a patient to receive radiation therapy on the lymph nodes in the neck.
