Intensity-modulated Radiotherapy for the Treatment of Breast Cancer [PDF]
Clinical Oncology, 2013 In the systematic review of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) in the treatment of breast cancer reported in Clinical Oncology by Dayes and colleagues [1], the only prospective randomised clinical trial (n = 306) testing forward-planned IMRT to have reported a 5 year outcome for adverse effects [2] was excluded on the spurious grounds that no ...

Intensity-modulated radiotherapy for prostate cancer
Translational Andrology and Urology, 2018 Radiation therapy (RT) is a curative treatment modality for localized prostate cancer. Over the past two decades, advances in technology and imaging have considerably changed RT in prostate cancer treatment. Treatment has evolved from 2-dimensional (2D) planning using X-ray fields based on pelvic bony landmarks to 3-dimensional (3D) conformal RT (CRT ...

Intensity-modulated radiotherapy - what is it? [PDF]
Cancer Imaging, 2004 Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) is one of the most important recent developments in oncology. It enables precise conformation of the radiation dose to the target volume. It has the potential to significantly reduce long-term morbidity and improve local control.

Dosimetric comparison study between intensity modulated radiation therapy and three-dimensional conformal proton therapy for pelvic bone marrow sparing in the treatment of cervical cancer. [PDF]
, 2010 The objective was to compare intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) with 3D conformal proton therapy (3DCPT) in the treatment of cervical cancer. In particular, each technique's ability to spare pelvic bone marrow (PBM) was of primary interest in ...

Optically guided intensity modulated radiotherapy
Radiotherapy and Oncology, 2001 Previously, we reported on development of an optically guided system for 3D conformal intracranial radiotherapy using multiple noncoplanar fixed fields. In this paper we report on the extension of our system for stereotactic fractionated radiotherapy to include intensity modulated static ports.A 3D treatment plan with maximum beam separation is ...

Norwegian Oncologists' Expectations of Intensity-modulated Radiotherapy [PDF]
Acta Oncologica, 2002 AIthough intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) may increase the therapeutic ratio of radiotherapy for a range of malignancies, only a few IMRT treatments have yet been performed in the Nordic countries. The scores derived from a national survey to assess Norwegian oncologists' expectations of IMRT are presented. A questionnaire was distributed to all

Functional image-based radiotherapy planning for non-small cell lung cancer: a simulation study [PDF]
, 2009 Background and purpose: To investigate the incorporation of data from single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) or hyperpolarized helium-3 magnetic resonance imaging (He-3-MRI) into intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) planning for non-small ...
