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 کاملTreatment planning of epithelial ovarian cancers using helical tomotherapy
Whole Abdomen Radiotherapy (WAR) for epithelial ovarian cancer though effective has been used sparingly due to inadequate target coverage and poor sparing of Organ At Risk (OAR) leading to significantly higher toxicities. Newer radiation techniques have shown potential for significant improvement in the therapeutic ratio. The purpose of this study was to evaluate Helical Tomotherapy(HT) for WAR...
متن کاملComparing conformal, arc radiotherapy and helical tomotherapy in craniospinal irradiation planning
Currently, radiotherapy treatment plan acceptance is based primarily on dosimetric performance measures. However, use of radiobiological analysis to assess benefit in terms of tumor control and harm in terms of injury to normal tissues can be advantageous. For pediatric craniospinal axis irradiation (CSI) patients, in particular, knowing the technique that will optimize the probabilities of ben...
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 کاملHelical tomotherapy to LINAC plan conversion utilizing RayStation Fallback planning
RaySearch RayStation Fallback (FB) planning module can generate an equivalent backup radiotherapy treatment plan facilitating treatment on other linear accelerators. FB plans were generated from the RayStation FB module by simulating the original plan target and organ at risk (OAR) dose distribution and delivered in various backup linear accelerators. In this study, helical tomotherapy (HT) bac...
