Hypo-fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy alone using volumetric modulated arc therapy for patients with single, large brain metastases unsuitable for surgical resection
BACKGROUND Hypo-fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (HSRT) is emerging as a valid treatment option for patients with single, large brain metastases (BMs). We analyzed a set of our patients treated with HSRT. The aim of this study was to evaluate local control (LC), brain distant progression (BDP), toxicity and overall survival (OS). METHODS From July 2011 to May 2015, 102 patients underwen...
متن کاملVolumetric modulated arc therapy treatment planning of thoracic vertebral metastases using stereotactic body radiotherapy
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES To retrospectively evaluate the plan quality, treatment efficiency, and accuracy of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) plans for thoracic spine metastases using stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). MATERIALS/METHODS Seven patients with thoracic vertebral metastases treated with noncoplanar hybrid arcs (NCHA) (1 to 2 3D-conformal partial arcs +7 to 9 IMRT beams) were ...

متن کاملComparison of photon volumetric modulated arc therapy, intensity-modulated proton therapy, and intensity-modulated carbon ion therapy for delivery of hypo-fractionated thoracic radiotherapy
PURPOSE The aim of the present study was to compare the dose distribution generated from photon volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT), and intensity modulated carbon ion therapy (IMCIT) in the delivery of hypo-fractionated thoracic radiotherapy. METHODS AND MATERIALS Ten selected patients who underwent thoracic particle therapy between 2015 and 201...
متن کاملDosimetric Effects of Rotational Setup Error in Volumetric Modulated Arc Radiotherapy on Brain Tumor Patients
Introduction: This study examined the dosimetric effects based on the rotational setup error to correct patient setup errors occur during volumetric modulated arc radiotherapy (VMAT) for brain tumor patients. Material and Methods: This study included 1129 cases of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images obtained from 46 brain tumor patients, who experienced VMAT and used the 6DoF (degree o...
