Intensity-modulated proton therapy vs intensity-modulated radiotherapy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma: a case–control studyResearch in context [PDF]

The Lancet Regional Health. Americas
Summary: Background: Intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) is associated with fewer acute toxicities compared with intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) in definitive treatment of nonmetastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).

Effect of intensity-modulated radiation therapy on sciatic nerve injury caused by echinococcosis

Neural Regeneration Research, 2021
Conventional radiotherapy has a good killing effect on femoral echinococcosis. However, the sciatic nerve around the lesion is irreversibly damaged owing to bystander effects.

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.

Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy

The Cancer Journal, 2002
Intensity-modulated radiotherapy represents a recent advancement in conformal radiotherapy. It employs specialized computer-driven technology to generate dose distributions that conform to tumor targets with extremely high precision. Treatment planning is based on inverse planning algorithms and iterative computer-driven optimization to generate ...
