Intensity-modulated radiotherapy reduces gastrointestinal toxicity in pelvic radiation therapy with moderate dose
This retrospective study was performed to evaluate and compare gastrointestinal (GI) toxicities caused by conventional radiotherapy (cRT) and intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) in 136 cancer patients treated with pelvic radiotherapy (RT) with moderate radiation dose in a single institution. A matched-pair analysis of the two groups was performed; each group included 68 patients. Convention...
متن کاملImproved toxicity profile following high-dose postprostatectomy salvage radiation therapy with intensity-modulated radiation therapy.
BACKGROUND With salvage radiation therapy (SRT) in the postprostatectomy setting, the need to deliver sufficient radiation doses to achieve a high probability of tumor control is balanced with the risk of increased toxicity. Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in the postprostatectomy salvage setting is gaining interest as a treatment strategy. OBJECTIVE Compare acute and late toxici...
متن کاملComparison of radiotherapy techniques to reduce hematologic toxicity in whole pelvic radiation therapy
Introduction: Concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is a standard treatment method for patients with carcinoma of cervix. Despite admirable therapeutic results, acute hematologic toxicity (HT) is common with this regimen. Many studies evaluate the relationship between the bone marrow dosimetric parameters and the severity of HT and result shown that the low dose of bone marrow wou...
متن کاملImpact of prone versus supine positioning on small bowel dose with pelvic intensity modulated radiation therapy
PURPOSE To report the results of a prospective study that compares small bowel doses during prone and supine pelvic intensity modulated radiation therapy. METHODS AND MATERIALS Ten patients receiving pelvic radiation therapy each had 2 intensity modulated radiation therapy plans generated: supine and prone on a belly board (PBB). Computed tomography on rails was performed weekly throughout tr...
متن کاملThe evaluation of lung doses for radiation pneumonia risk in stereotactic body radiotherapy: A comparison of intensity modulated radiotherapy, intensity modulated arc therapy, cyberknife and helical tomotherapy
Background: Radiation Pneumonia (RP) is one of the most extensive side effects in Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) of lung cancer. SBRT are performed by means of Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT), Intensity Modulated Arc Therapy (IMAT), CyberKnife (CK) or Helical Tomotherapy (HT) treatment methods. In this study, we performed a plan study to determine the plan parameter such as the M...
