Conformal radiotherapy for hepatocellular carcinoma

Critical Reviews in Oncology/Hematology, 2008
Technical advancements in radiation therapy (RT) have facilitated the safe delivery of conformal, dose-escalated radiation to a wide spectrum of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. A variety of doses and RT fractionation schemes have been used, and RT has been used in combination with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE).

Target dose conformity in 3-dimensional conformal radiotherapy and intensity modulated radiotherapy

Radiotherapy and Oncology, 2004
Dose conformity to the planning target volume is an important criterion in radiotherapy treatment planning, for which the conformity index is a useful assessment tool. The purpose of this study is to compare the differences in CI for the treatment planning of four cancers including the nasopharynx, oesophagus, lung and prostate.Seventy patients with ...

Conformal Radiotherapy and Intensity-modulated Radiotherapy: Clinical Data

Acta Oncologica, 2000
Conformal radiotherapy (CRT) is based on three hypotheses: (i) a higher rate of local control can improve the survival rate; (ii) dose escalation can increase tumor control; and (iii) CRT allows the delivery of higher doses by decreasing the incidence of late effects. These postulates are now supported by several data.

[Conformal radiotherapy].

Casopis lekaru ceskych, 2003
The aim of curative radiotherapy is the administration of tumor-lethal dose to an exactly defined target volume with minimal surrounding healthy tissue toxicity. In the conformal radiotherapy it is possible to conform the shape of irradiated volume to an irregular target volume.

CONFORMAL RADIOTHERAPY FOR BRAIN TUMOURS

Hematology/Oncology Clinics of North America, 2001
The technical improvements of three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy can decrease the toxicity of brain treatment to acceptable levels. The adoption of the technique by more centers would allow for the potential advantages of three-dimensional radiotherapy to be employed in a greater number of patients.
