Recovery of Salivary Function: Contralateral Parotid-sparing Intensity-modulated Radiotherapy versus Bilateral Superficial Lobe Parotid-sparing Intensity-modulated Radiotherapy
AIMS To establish whether there is a difference in recovery of salivary function with bilateral superficial lobe parotid-sparing intensity-modulated radiotherapy (BSLPS-IMRT) versus contralateral parotid-sparing IMRT (CLPS-IMRT) in patients with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell cancers. MATERIALS AND METHODS A dosimetric analysis was carried out on data from two studies in which p...
متن کاملPotential for reduced radiation‐induced toxicity using intensity‐modulated arc therapy for whole‐brain radiotherapy with hippocampal sparing
The purpose of this study was to retrospectively investigate the accuracy, plan quality, and efficiency of using intensity-modulated arc therapy (IMAT) for whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) patients with sparing not only the hippocampus (following RTOG 0933 compliance criteria) but also other organs at risk (OARs). A total of 10 patients previously treated with nonconformal opposed laterals whole...
متن کاملIntensity modulated proton therapy.
Intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) implies the electromagnetic spatial control of well-circumscribed "pencil beams" of protons of variable energy and intensity. Proton pencil beams take advantage of the charged-particle Bragg peak-the characteristic peak of dose at the end of range-combined with the modulation of pencil beam variables to create target-local modulations in dose that achie...
متن کاملLarynx-sparing techniques using intensity-modulated radiation therapy for oropharyngeal cancer.
The purpose of the current study was to explore whether the laryngeal dose can be reduced by using 2 intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) techniques: whole-neck field IMRT technique (WF-IMRT) vs. junctioned IMRT (J-IMRT). The effect on planning target volumes (PTVs) coverage and laryngeal sparing was evaluated. WF-IMRT technique consisted of a single IMRT plan, including the primary tum...
متن کاملVolumetric-modulated arc therapy improved heart and lung sparing for a left-sided chest wall and regional nodal irradiation case
28 n APPLIED RADIATION ONCOLOGY www.appliedradiationoncology.com September 2017 CASE SUMMARY A 56-year-old postmenopausal woman initially presented in October 2013 with complaints of intermittent left breast pain, redness and a left axillary mass for several months. Clinical examination was notable for an edematous and erythematous left breast with peau d’orange and a palpable underlying 6-cm m...
