Abstract: Objective To evaluate the advantage and disadvantage of IMRT,we established this Meta-analysis which gives service to clinical therapy.Methods Clinical researches of dosimetric comparisons between CRT and IMRT for conservative-breast therapy were obtained from the Pubmed,Science,EMbase,CNKI(Zhong Guo Zhi Wang)and Wan Fang databases up to April 2015.The data calculated and analyzed using the StataSE 12.0 software.Results Twelve researches were included.Comparing to CRT,IMRT significantly decreased the homogeneity index(HI)(SMD=1.102,95%CI:0.699~1.504,P<0.001).IMRT significantly lowered the lung V20,lung V30,heart V30 and heart V40,whileas the lung V5,lung V10 and heart V5 were not lowered.Conclusion Comparing to CRT,IMRT achieves better homogeneity of dose distribution and reduces irradiated volumes of heart and lung in high-dose areas without decreases irradiated volumes in low-dose areas,which provides evidence to choose valuable clinical technique.
