To evaluate the relationships among patient characteristics, irradiation treatment planning parameters, and treatment toxicity of acute radiation dermatitis (RD) after breast hybrid intensity modulation radiation therapy (IMRT). The study cohort consisted of 95 breast cancer patients treated with hybrid IMRT. RD grade ≥2 (2+) toxicity was defined as clinically significant. Patient characteristics and the irradiation treatment planning parameters were used as the initial candidate factors. Prognostic factors were identified using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO)-based normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) model. A univariate cut-off dose NTCP model was developed to find the dose-volume limitation. Fifty-two (54.7%) of ninety-five patients experienced acute RD grade 2+ toxicity. The volume of skin receiving a dose >35 Gy (V35) was the most significant dosimetric predictor associated with RD grade 2+ toxicity. The NTCP model parameters for V35Gy were TV50 = 85.7 mL and γ50 = 0.77, where TV50 was defined as the volume corresponding to a 50% incidence of complications, and γ50 was the normalized slope of the volume-response curve. Additional potential predictive patient characteristics were energy and surgery, but the results were not statistically significant. To ensure a better quality of life and compliance for breast hybrid IMRT patients, the skin volume receiving a dose >35 Gy should be limited to <85.7 mL to keep the incidence of RD grade 2+ toxicities below 50%. To avoid RD toxicity, the volume of skin receiving a dose >35 Gy should follow sparing tolerance and the inherent patient characteristics should be considered.
