Clinical experience in pediatric neuroblastoma intensity modulated radiotherapy.
BACKGROUND In spite of the numerous publications of dosimetric comparison of intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) versus conventional radiotherapy in pediatrics, few data exist regarding the clinical use of IMRT and its potential late effects. PROCEDURE Pediatric neuroblastoma patients treated between November 2008 and October 2010 with IMRT were reviewed. Treatment plans, clinical, labora...
متن کاملClinical evaluation of simultaneous integrated boost in brain metastasis patients with helical intensity modulated radiotherapy
Background: This study was performed to assess patient survival and treatment toxicity after helical tomotherapy (HT) with simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) radiotherapy (RT) for cancer patients with one to eight brain metastases (BM) who have been treated with or without surgery. Materials and Methods: A total of 48 brain metastasis (BM) patients were included in this retrospective study bet...
متن کاملThe evaluation of lung doses for radiation pneumonia risk in stereotactic body radiotherapy: A comparison of intensity modulated radiotherapy, intensity modulated arc therapy, cyberknife and helical tomotherapy
Background: Radiation Pneumonia (RP) is one of the most extensive side effects in Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) of lung cancer. SBRT are performed by means of Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT), Intensity Modulated Arc Therapy (IMAT), CyberKnife (CK) or Helical Tomotherapy (HT) treatment methods. In this study, we performed a plan study to determine the plan parameter such as the M...
متن کاملClinical implementation of dynamic intensity-modulated radiotherapy: radiographers' perspectives.
The ability of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) to sculpt the dose distribution closely around the tumour volume has the potential to have a major impact on radiotherapy clinical practice. However, dynamic IMRT treatment delivery differs from that of conventional treatment because of the constantly moving multileaf collimators (MLCs) and higher monitor units (MUs) required. The implement...
متن کاملThe clinical implementation of respiratory-gated intensity-modulated radiotherapy.
The clinical use of respiratory-gated radiotherapy and the application of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) are 2 relatively new innovations to the treatment of lung cancer. Respiratory gating can reduce the deleterious effects of intrafraction motion, and IMRT can concurrently increase tumor dose homogeneity and reduce dose to critical structures including the lungs, spinal cord, esophag...
