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

Intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) in bilateral retinoblastoma
External beam radiotherapy (EBRT) for retinoblastoma has traditionally been done with conventional radiotherapy techniques which resulted high doses to the surrounding normal tissues.A 20 month-old girl with group D bilateral retinoblastoma underwent intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) to both eyes after failing chemoreduction and focal therapies ...

Whole breast and regional nodal irradiation in prone versus supine position in left sided breast cancer [PDF]
Background: Prone whole breast irradiation (WBI) leads to reduced heart and lung doses in breast cancer patients receiving adjuvant radiotherapy. In this feasibility trial, we investigated the prone position for whole breast + lymph node irradiation (WB +

ABSTRACT Purpose Pediatric central nervous system (CNS) tumors often recur despite multimodality therapy. Although re‐irradiation (re‐RT) has historically been limited by concerns for severe late toxicities, modern techniques have renewed interest in this approach. Proton therapy provides dosimetric advantages that may enable curative re‐treatment with

Current advances in radiotherapy for soft tissue sarcomas
Radiotherapy (RT) is a part of the routine treatment of locally advanced or high-grade soft-tissue sarcomas (STS). However, RT has changed significantly over the last 20 years. Modern RT techniques have extended its potential application in STS treatment.
