Dose distribution and tumor control probability in out-of-field lymph node stations in intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) vs 3D-conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) of non-small-cell lung cancer: an in silico analysis [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The advent of IMRT and image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) in combination with involved-field radiotherapy (IF-RT) in inoperable non-small-cell lung cancer results in a decreased incidental dose deposition in elective nodal stations.

Comparison of IMRT versus 3D-CRT in the treatment of esophagus cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis. [PDF]
Background: Esophageal cancer (EC) is a common cancer with high mortality because of its rapid progression and poor prognosis. Radiotherapy is one of the most effective treatments for EC.

Retrospective analysis and IMRT replanning of a 3D-CRT murine dose painting study for preclinical oxygen-guided radiotherapy [PDF]
A recent parallel-opposed 3D-conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) study in mice compared dose escalation (boost) in hypoxic (pO2 ≤ 10 torr) and non-hypoxic tumor subvolumes. They found a hypoxic boost led to significantly greater (p

A comparative study of dose distribution of PBT, 3D-CRT and IMRT for pediatric brain tumors. [PDF]
IntroductionIt was reported that proton beam therapy (PBT) reduced the normal brain dose compared with X-ray therapy for pediatric brain tumors. We considered whether there was not the condition that PBT was more disadvantageous than intensity modulated ...
