Consent to External-Beam Radiotherapy
Current Oncology, 2010 Canadian law, and the physician’s code of ethics, requires that informed consent be obtained before any medical act is performed. However, there are no rules about how consent is to be obtained and by whom, and how that consent is to be documented. In April 2008, we asked the heads of all Canadian radiation oncology departments to tell us whether their

Hypofractionated External-Beam Radiotherapy for Prostate Cancer [PDF]
Prostate Cancer, 2013 There are radiobiological rationales supporting hypofractionated radiotherapy for prostate cancer. The recent advancements in treatment planning and delivery allow sophisticated radiation treatments to take advantage of the differences in radiobiology of

External Beam Radiotherapy in the Management of Uveal Melanoma. [PDF]
Curr Treat Options OncolOpinion statement Uveal melanoma is the most common primary ocular tumor in adults. With the evidence demonstrating that episcleral plaque brachytherapy (EPB) has similar survival rates as enucleation in the Collaborative Ocular Melanoma Study (COMS), eye-sparing treatments have come to the fore today. External radiotherapy techniques

External beam radiotherapy of extramammary Paget disease.
Cutis, 2015 Extramammary Paget disease (EMPD) is an insidious intraepithelial neoplasm that is difficult to control with surgery, as large resections typically are required. An effective alternative is external beam radiotherapy (EBRT), which typically results in rapid resolution of EMPD. In this study, we analyzed long-term outcomes in 7 patients who were treated

Development of a linear array for intracavitary in vivo dosimetry during external beam radiotherapy and brachytherapy. [PDF]
, 2003 We present the details of a new linear array dosimeter consisting of a chain of semiconductors mounted on an ultra-thin (50 μm thick) flexible substrate and housed in an intracavitary catheter. The semiconductors, manufactured by NMRC Cork, have not been

Quantification of geometric uncertainties in image guided radiotherapy [PDF]
, 2010 The aim of this thesis is to determine if the geometric uncertainties that are introduced into the image guided radiotherapy (IGRT) process by Cone Beam CT (CBCT) based IGRT equipment are sufficiently small that they do not pose a significant risk of ...
