Craniospinal irradiation using helical tomotherapy for central nervous system tumors
The aim of this study was to describe early and late toxicity, survival and local control in 45 patients with primary brain tumors treated with helical tomotherapy craniospinal irradiation (HT-CSI). From 2006 to 2014, 45 patients with central nervous system malignancies were treated with HT-CSI. The most common tumors were medulloblastoma in 20 patients, ependymoma in 10 patients, intracranial ...
متن کاملVirtual bolus for total body irradiation treated with helical tomotherapy
Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for total body irradiation (TBI) is practiced in several centers using the TomoTherapy System. In this context the planning target volume (PTV) is the entire body including the skin. A safety margin in the air surrounding the body should be added to take into account setup errors. But using inverse planning, over-fluence peak could be generated in th...
متن کاملOutcomes and toxicity of 313 prostate cancer patients receiving helical tomotherapy after radical prostatectomy
Purpose There are limited long-term data on patients treated with image guided intensity modulated radiation therapy (IG-IMRT) for prostate cancer recurrence or high-risk disease features after radical prostatectomy. We report single-institution results for patients treated with IG-IMRT and identify variables associated with outcome. Methods and materials This is a retrospective chart review ...
متن کاملRe-irradiation of unresectable recurrent head and neck cancer: using Helical Tomotherapy as image-guided intensity-modulated radiotherapy
PURPOSE Re-irradiation (re-RT) is considered a treatment option for inoperable locoregionally recurrent head and neck cancer (HNC) after prior radiotherapy. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of re-RT using Helical Tomotherapy as image-guided intensity-modulated radiotherapy in recurrent HNC. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients diagnosed with recurrent HNC and received re-RT were retrospectively...
متن کاملMediastinal irradiation in a patient affected by lung carcinoma after heart transplantation: Helical tomotherapy versus three dimensional conformal radiotherapy
Patients who have undergone solid organ transplants are known to have an increased risk of neoplasia compared with the general population. We report our experience using mediastinal irradiation with helical tomotherapy versus three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy to treat a patient with lung carcinoma 15 years after heart transplantation. Our dosimetric evaluation showed no particular d...
