Outcomes of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma treated with intensity-modulated radiotherapy

Journal of Radiation Research, 2021
Nasopharyngeal cancer shows a good response to intensity-modulated radiotherapy. However, there is no clear evidence for the benefits of routine use of image-guided radiotherapy.

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 ...
