Breast Conserving Treatment for Breast Cancer: Dosimetric Comparison of Sequential versus Simultaneous Integrated Photon Boost
BACKGROUND Breast conserving surgery followed by whole breast irradiation is widely accepted as standard of care for early breast cancer. Addition of a boost dose to the initial tumor area further reduces local recurrences. We investigated the dosimetric benefits of a simultaneously integrated boost (SIB) compared to a sequential boost to hypofractionate the boost volume, while maintaining norm...
متن کاملHippocampal Sparing Whole Brain Radiotherapy and Integrated Simultaneous Boost vs Stereotactic Radiosurgery Boost: A Comparative Dosimetric Planning Study.
BACKGROUND Whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) and stereotactic radiosurgery were frequently used to palliate patients with brain metastases. It remains controversial which modality or combination of therapy is superior especially in the setting of limited number of brain metastases. The availability of newer medical therapy that improves survival highlighted the importance of reducing long term ra...
متن کاملSimultaneous integrated boost radiotherapy for thyroid cancer.
AIM The purpose of this study was to examine the usefulness of using Simultaneous Integrated Boost (SIB) radiotherapy for thyroid cancer treatment. BACKGROUND At our hospital a 3D Conformal RadioTherapy (3D-CRT) technique involving photon and electron beams for the treatment of thyroid cancer was often used.(1) High dose to the spinal canal was limiting the total dose of such a treatment. Aft...
متن کاملComparison of breast simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) radiotherapy techniques
PURPOSE To dosimetrically evaluate different breast SIB techniques with respect to target coverage and organs at risk (OARs) doses. METHODS Four IMRT techniques were compared in 12 patients. Three techniques employ tangential whole breast irradiation with either two coplanar fields (T-2F), or four non-coplanar fields (T-NC), or one Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (T-VMAT) for the boost volum...
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...
