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 ...

Multilayer intensity modulated contact interventional radiotherapy (brachytherapy): Stretching the therapeutic window in skin cancer

, 2023
Interventional radiotherapy (IRT, brachytherapy) is a highly effective treatment method for non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). Traditionally, the maximum depth of NMSC lesions considered eligible for contact IRT was 5 mm; however, following several ...

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

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 ...
