Advances in Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy Delivery

, 2008
Fixed-field intensity-modulated treatments, delivered by conventional linac-plus-multileaf systems, have rapidly become the most common form of IMRT. Several innovative alternative IMRT options are also now available, including tomotherapy, CyberKnife and jaws-only linacs. These innovative approaches have divergent rationales.

The role of intensity modulated radiotherapy in gynecological radiotherapy: Present and future [PDF]

Reports of Practical Oncology & Radiotherapy, 2013
This manuscript reviews the English language literature on the use of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for gynecologic malignancies, focusing on the treatment cervical cancer.Radiation therapy plays a key role in both definitive and adjuvant treatment of these patients, although efforts continue to minimize acute and chronic toxicity.

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 ...

Monitor units are not predictive of neutron dose for high-energy IMRT

Radiation Oncology, 2012
Background Due to the substantial increase in beam-on time of high energy intensity-modulated radiotherapy (>10 MV) techniques to deliver the same target dose compared to conventional treatment techniques, an increased dose of scatter radiation ...

Does CyberKnife improve dose distribution versus IMRT and VMAT on a linear accelerator in low-risk prostate cancer?

Radiology and Oncology, 2022
Hypofractionated stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for prostate cancer (PCa) can be delivered with the robot-assisted CyberKnife (CK) system or on a linear accelerator using dynamic intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) or volumetric arc ...
