Conformal radiotherapy, intensity-modulated radiotherapy and image-guided radiotherapy

2008
The aim of radiotherapy is to deliver the desired tumoricidal dose to the intended target as accurately and reliably as possible and avoid unnecessary dose to surrounding normal tissues. This principle was recognized when irradiation was utilized therapeutically over 100 years ago and has been the guiding force for development and refinement of modern ...

Intensity-modulated radiotherapy significantly reduces xerostomia compared with conventional radiotherapy

International Journal of Radiation Oncology*Biology*Physics, 2006
Xerostomia is a severe complication after radiotherapy for oropharyngeal cancer, as the salivary glands are in close proximity with the primary tumor. Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) offers theoretical advantages for normal tissue sparing. A Phase II study was conducted to determine the value of IMRT for salivary output preservation compared ...

Intensity‐modulated radiotherapy for early‐stage glottic cancer

Head & Neck, 2015
AbstractBackgroundThe purpose of this study was to report on treatment outcome of intensity‐modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for early‐stage (cT1–2 cN0 M0) squamous cell carcinoma of the glottis, as compared with patients treated with conventional radiotherapy.MethodsBetween November 2007 and December 2011, 40 consecutive patients were treated with IMRT ...

[Saliva and intensity modulated radiotherapy].

Nederlands tijdschrift voor tandheelkunde, 2008
A dry mouth (xerostomia) is a serious side effect for head and neck cancer patients treated with radiotherapy. The degree of xerostomia is dependent on the dosage in the parotid glands. New, advanced radiation techniques, such as intensity-modulated radiotherapy, can reduce the dosage in the parotid glands, resulting in a significant improvement in the

Optimizing the planning of intensity-modulated radiotherapy

Physics in Medicine and Biology, 1994
A method of computing optimized intensity-modulated beam profiles has been further developed and used to generate highly conformal radiotherapy dose distributions. The features of these distributions are shown to be strongly dependent on the tuning built into the algorithm.
