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).

A dosimetric comparison of volumetric-modulated arc therapy and IMRT for cochlea-sparing radiation therapy in locally advanced nasopharyngeal cancer

Journal of Medical Physics, 2023
Background: Head-and-neck cancer treatment includes radiotherapy as a crucial component. However, radiotherapy, like other treatment modalities, has its own side effects, some of which can be avoided using the latest medical technology and understanding ...

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

Dosimetric advantage of volumetric modulated arc therapy in the treatment of intraocular cancer

Radiation Oncology, 2017
Objective The purpose of this study is to investigate the dosimetric advantages of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) in the treatment of intraocular cancer by comparing it directly with three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (CRT) and intensity ...

Fondazione Italiana Linfomi (FIL) expert consensus on the use of intensity-modulated and image-guided radiotherapy for Hodgkin’s lymphoma involving the mediastinum

Radiation Oncology, 2020
Aim Advances in therapy have resulted in improved cure rates and an increasing number of long-term Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) survivors. However, radiotherapy (RT)-related late effects are still a significant issue, particularly for younger patients with ...

Evaluation of Late Toxicities in Postoperative Cases of Oral Cavity Cancer Treated by Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT): A Retrospective Cohort Study [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2023
Introduction: Surgical intervention serves as the primary treatment modality for operable oral cavity cancer. However, patients with locally advanced disease or unfavourable prognostic factors often require adjuvant Radiotherapy (RT) with or without ...
