Does setup on rectal wall improve rectal cancer boost radiotherapy?
BACKGROUND Rectal cancer patients that show a pathological complete response (pCR) after neo-adjuvant chemo-radiotherapy, have better prognosis. To increase pCR rates several studies escalate the tumor irradiation dose. However, due to lacking tumor contrast on online imaging techniques, no direct tumor setup can be performed and large boost margins are needed to ensure tumor coverage. The purp...
متن کاملCalculation of Inter- and Intra-Fraction Motion Errors at External Radiotherapy Using a Markerless Strategy Based on Image Registration Combined with Correlation Model
Introduction: A new method based on image registration technique and an intelligent correlation model to calculate. The present study aimed to propose inter- and intra-fraction motion errors in order to address the limitations of conventional Patient positioning methods. Material and Methods: The configuration of the markerless method wa...
متن کاملSimultaneous integrated boost radiotherapy for thyroid cancer.
AIM The purpose of this study was to examine the usefulness of using Simultaneous Integrated Boost (SIB) radiotherapy for thyroid cancer treatment. BACKGROUND At our hospital a 3D Conformal RadioTherapy (3D-CRT) technique involving photon and electron beams for the treatment of thyroid cancer was often used.(1) High dose to the spinal canal was limiting the total dose of such a treatment. Aft...
متن کاملSimultaneous integrated boost intensity-modulated radiotherapy versus 3-dimensional conformal radiotherapy in preoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer
PURPOSE To evaluate the feasibility of simultaneous integrated boost intensity-modulated radiotherapy (SIB-IMRT) for preoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy (PCRT) in locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC), by comparing with 3-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT). MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients who were treated with PCRT for LARC from 2015 January to 2016 December were retrospectively...
متن کاملPopulation-based Correspondence Models for Respiratory Motion Estimation in the Presence of Inter-fraction Motion Variations
Many respiratory motion compensation approaches in radiation therapy of thoracic and abdominal tumors are guided by external breathing signals. Patient-specific correspondence models based on planning 4D data are used to relate signal measurements to internal motion. The motion estimation accuracy of these models during a treatment fraction depends on the degree of inter-fraction motion variati...
