A method for standardizing intensity modulated radiation therapy planning optimization for nasopharyngeal carcinoma
Background: To investigate a method for standardizing intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) optimization for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), in order to reduce the influence of subjective factors. Materials and Methods: This study is based on example IMRT plans for NPC, which were randomly divided into data acquisition and data verification groups. Organs at risk (OARs) were analyzed for...
متن کاملAdvances and challenges in intensity-modulated radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is an endemic disease within specific regions in the world. Radiotherapy is the main treatment. In recent decades, intensity-modulated radiation therapy has undergone a rapid evolution. Compared with two-dimensional radiotherapy and/or three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy, evidence has shown it may improve quality of life and prognosis for patients with nasopharynge...
متن کاملComprehensive end-to-end test for intensity-modulated radiation therapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma using an anthropomorphic phantom and EBT3 film
Background: In head and neck radiotherapy, immobilization devices can affect dose delivery. In this study, a comprehensive end-to-end test was developed to evaluate the accuracy of radiotherapy treatment. Materials and Methods: An Alderson Radiation Therapy (ART) anthropomorphic phantom with EBT3 film was used to mimic the actual patient treatment process. Ten patients treated for nasopharyngea...
متن کاملRadiobiological Model-Based Comparison of Three-Dimensional Conformal and Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy Plans for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
Introduction: Radiobiological modeling of radiotherapy plans are used for treatment plan comparisons. The current study aimed to compare the three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3DCRT) and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) plans for nasopharyngeal cancer using radiobiological modeling. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted on 10 patients with nasopharyngeal carci...
متن کاملTreatment outcomes for different subgroups of nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients treated with intensity-modulated radiation therapy
Although many studies have investigated intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), sample sizes in the reported studies are usually small and different in outcomes in different T and N subgroups are seldom analyzed. Herein, we evaluated the outcomes of NPC patients treated with IMRT and further explored treatment strategy to improve such outcome. We collect...
