Does setup on rectal wall improve rectal cancer boost radiotherapy?
BACKGROUND Rectal cancer patients that show a pathological complete response (pCR) after neo-adjuvant chemo-radiotherapy, have better prognosis. To increase pCR rates several studies escalate the tumor irradiation dose. However, due to lacking tumor contrast on online imaging techniques, no direct tumor setup can be performed and large boost margins are needed to ensure tumor coverage. The purp...
متن کاملImage-guided prostate radiotherapy: analysis of inter- fractional setup errors
Introduction: The accuracy of the patient setup and tumor location are major factors that determine the efficacy of radiotherapy treatment planning. In the prostate radiotherapy, reproducibility of the prostate location for each treatment fraction is problematic owing to varying filling of the rectum and bladder. According to this, the aim of this study was to measure the inte...
متن کاملDosimetric Effects of Rotational Setup Error in Volumetric Modulated Arc Radiotherapy on Brain Tumor Patients
Introduction: This study examined the dosimetric effects based on the rotational setup error to correct patient setup errors occur during volumetric modulated arc radiotherapy (VMAT) for brain tumor patients. Material and Methods: This study included 1129 cases of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images obtained from 46 brain tumor patients, who experienced VMAT and used the 6DoF (degree o...
متن کاملPreoperative radiotherapy for resectable rectal cancer: A meta-analysis.
CONTEXT The benefit of adjuvant radiotherapy for resectable rectal cancer has been extensively studied, but data on survival are still equivocal despite a reduction in the rate of local recurrence. OBJECTIVE To assess the effectiveness of preoperative radiotherapy followed by surgery in the reduction of overall and cancer-related mortality and in the prevention of local recurrence and distant...
متن کاملThe role of radiotherapy in rectal cancer.
In Europe, short-term radiotherapy is increasingly used in the primary management of rectal cancer. In the United States, postoperative chemoradiotherapy is the standard treatment of choice. The rationale and indications for radiotherapy and possible combinations with chemotherapy are discussed and an overview of all of the randomised trials containing radiotherapy as one randomisation arm is g...
