Dose prescription complexity versus tumor control probability in biologically conformal radiotherapy.
The technical feasibility and potential benefits of voxel-based nonuniform dose prescriptions for biologically heterogeneous tumors have been widely demonstrated. In some cases, an "ideal" dose prescription has been generated by individualizing the dose to every voxel within the target, but often this voxel-based prescription has been discretized into a small number of compartments. The number ...
متن کاملTumor control probability predictions for genetic radiotherapy.
PURPOSE Genetic radiotherapy, the combination of gene therapy and radiation therapy, for cancer treatment is evolving from laboratory studies to clinical trials. Genetic radiotherapy involves the viral infection of cells that change the sensitivity of transduced cells to radiation. Because there is no patient outcome data for genetic radiotherapy, prospective models are needed to determine the ...
متن کامل3-Dimensional conformal radiotherapy versus intensity modulated radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer: Dosimetric and radiobiologic analysis
Background: To analyze the dosimetric and radio biologic advantages between intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and 3 dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) and selection of optimal photon energy for IMRT treatments. Material and methods: 24 patients with localized prostate carcinoma were planned for 3DCRT and IMRT techniques. Radiation dose of 54 Gy with 2 Gy/fraction, was planned to ...
متن کاملChest-wall irradiation by kilovoltage x-rays: Observed local control rate versus predicted radiobiological tumor control probability
Introduction: The high local control rates observed in patients with breast cancer who had been treated by modified radical mastectomy, chemotherapy and chest-wall irradiation using 120 kV X-rays (50 Gy in 25 fractions) motivated us to investigate their observed tumor control probability (TCP) and test a well-established radiobiological TCP model against our data. Mat...
متن کاملAutomated Position Control in Conformal Radiotherapy
This work is part of a collaboration with the cancer institute L eon B erard (Lyon, France) and concerns conformal radiotherapy. The current medical process begins by acquiring a reference computed tomog-raphy volume of a patient, and by computing an irradiation procedure. During several weeks, the patient comes every day for an irradiation session. In order to have a safe and eecient irradiati...
