Need Research Data on IMRT!!

I need your help!

I am preparing a case to present to my health plan to allow me to seek IMRT radiation treatment from a provider outside my HMO since (1) my HMO is losing all its radiation oncologists by the end of this summer, and (2) they have no experiences with using IMRT for breast radiation.

I am particularly interested in this treatment method because it is more precise and will lessen the risks to my heart. This is important to me because (1) my mastectomy was on the left side, (2) I am slender, so I have very little tissue between my heart and my outside skin, (3) and I have had Herceptin, which has already placed my heart at some risk.

I have already collected several articles and websites that support my case, but I want more. If any of you have articles or chart notes that you'd be willing to share, I'd love to get copies. And if you know about a cancer center that's doing cutting-edge work in this area, please let me know that too.

I convinced my HMO to approve an initial consult, but of course I need to take it to the next step and get my treatments approved as well.

thanks!!!!!!
