Comparison of dosimetric and radiobiological effects of various IMRT techniques regarding to joint volume between target tissue and organs at risk in prostate cancer patients
Background: Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) is one of the most usable methods in prostate radiotherapy that is used with different techniques. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the dosimetric and radiobiological effects of prostate IMRT techniques regarding to joint volume between the target tissue and organs at risk as a patients anatomical parameter. Methods: This res...
متن کاملGeometric and dosimetric uncertainties in intracranial stereotatctic treatments for multiple nonisocentric lesions
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of geometric uncertainties of patient position on treatments of multiple nonisocentric intracranial lesions. The average distance between lesions in patients with multiple targets was determined by a retrospective survey of patients with multiple lesions. Retrospective patient imaging data from fractionated stereotactic patients were used t...
متن کاملFocal Treatments for Prostate Cancer
Background/Overview PROSTATE CANCER Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer diagnosed among men in the United States. According to the National Cancer Institute (NCI), nearly 240,000 new cases were to be diagnosed in the United States in 2013 and would be associated with around 30,000 deaths. Autopsy studies in the pre prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening era identified incidental...
متن کاملFocal Treatments for Prostate Cancer
Background/Overview Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer diagnosed among men in the United States. Given the frequent uncertainty in predicting behavior of individual localized prostate cancers, and the substantial adverse effects associated with whole-gland treatments, investigators have sought to minimize morbidity associated with radical treatment while reducing tumor burden to a...
