Radiotherapy planning at rectal cancer [PDF]
Radiotherapy can be applied more effectively on rectal cancer like other cancers as a result of tecnological advances in radiation oncology. Nowadays, the current approach is conformal tecniques. The target volume and critical organs at risk should be identified according to international criteria by making the best patient simulation.
