Conventional 3D conformal radiotherapy and volumetric modulated arc therapy for cervical cancer: Comparison of clinical results with special consideration of the influence of patient- and treatment-related parameters

Strahlentherapie und Onkologie (Print), 2021
Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for cervical cancer yields favorable results in terms of oncological outcomes, acute toxicity, and late toxicity. Limited data are available on clinical results with volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT).

Intensity modulated radiation therapy versus volumetric intensity modulated arc therapy [PDF]

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, 2013
The advanced developments in external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) over the past few decades have improved dose conformity to the target while minimizing dose to the surrounding organs at risk (OAR). Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) are two commonly used EBRT techniques to treat cancer.

Dosimetric justification for the use of volumetric modulated arc therapy in head and neck cancer—A systematic review of the literature

Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, 2021
Radiotherapy for head and neck cancer (HNC) has evolved rapidly in the past decades from conformal three‐dimensional technique (3D‐CRT) to intensity‐modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and volumetric‐modulated arc therapy (VMAT).

Proton beam therapy in paediatric cancer: Anticipating the opening of the Australian Bragg Centre for Proton Therapy and Research

Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, EarlyView., 2023
Summary Proton Beam Therapy (PBT) has the potential to improve paediatric cancer care by reducing radiation exposure and thus long‐term toxicities. Ethical concerns and debates surrounding the treatment, such as eligibility and accessibility, are ongoing in Australia. The Australian Bragg Centre for Proton Therapy and Research (ABCPTR) (named after Sir
