IMAGE-GUIDED RADIOTHERAPY AND -BRACHYTHERAPY FOR CERVICAL CANCER

Frontiers in Oncology, 2015
Conventional radiotherapy for cervical cancer relies on clinical examination, 3-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT), and 2-dimensional intracavitary brachytherapy.Excellent local control and survival have been obtained for

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 ...

Extreme Hypofractionated Image-Guided Radiotherapy for Prostate Cancer [PDF]

European Medical Journal Oncology, 2013
An emerging body of data suggests that hypofractionated radiation schedules, where a higher dose per fraction is delivered in a smaller number of sessions, may be superior to conventional fractionation schemes in terms of both tumour control and toxicity

Association between incidental dose outside the prostate and tumor control after modern image-guided radiotherapy [PDF]

, 2021
Background and purpose: External beam radiotherapy for prostate cancer deposits incidental dose to a region surrounding the target volume. Previously, an association was identified between tumor control and incidental dose for patients treated with ...

Effective salvage of recurrent craniopharyngioma with fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy

Radiology Case Reports, 2020
Craniopharyngiomas can invade surrounding structures, including the optic chiasm and hypothalamus. In such cases, subtotal resection is often preferred to limit perioperative morbidity and mortality; however, subtotal resection is associated with high ...
