Three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy versus intensity-modulated radiotherapy in carcinoma cervix

Journal of Clinical and Scientific Research, 2018
Background: Cervical cancer is the most common gynecological cancer among Indian women. 3D-CRT treatment is associated with more acute and late toxicities, because of close proximity of bladder and rectum to the cervix.

Dosimetric Comparison between Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) and Three-Dimensional Conformal Radiation Therapy (3DCRT) in Mid Lower esophageal Carcinoma: An Analytical Observational Study

ISCC (Indonesian Journal of Cancer Chemoprevention), 2022
Esophageal cancer (EC) is a common cancer with high mortality because of its rapid progression and poor prognosis. One of the most successful therapies for EC is radiotherapy.

Dosimetric and Deformation Effects of Image-Guided Interventions during Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy of the Prostate using an Endorectal Balloon

, 2012
During Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) for the treatment of prostate cancer, an inflatable endorectal balloon (ERB) may be used to reduce motion of the target and reduce the dose to the posterior rectal wall.

Feasibility of 2D‑conformal radiotherapy for pancreatic carcinoma

Oncology Letters, 2018
The purpose of the present study was to propose an optimized 2D technique (2D-conformal) for radiotherapy (RT) of pancreatic cancer (CaP). This technique is based on double simulation which resolves the problems of radiographic image distortion. Five patients with locally advanced CaP were identified and enrolled.
