Assessment of MLC tracking performance during hypofractionated prostate radiotherapy using real-time dose reconstruction
By adapting to the actual patient anatomy during treatment, tracked multi-leaf collimator (MLC) treatment deliveries offer an opportunity for margin reduction and healthy tissue sparing. This is assumed to be especially relevant for hypofractionated protocols in which intrafractional motion does not easily average out. In order to confidently deliver tracked treatments with potentially reduced ...
متن کاملDosimetric and Radiobiological Evaluation of Multiparametric MRI-guided Dose Painting in radiotherapy of Prostate Cancer
Introduction: Radiotherapy is one of the treatment options for locally advanced prostate cancer, however with standard radiation doses it is not always very effective. One of the strategies to improve the efficiency of radiotherapy is increasing the dose. In this study to increase tumor local control rates a new radiotherapy method, known as dose painting (DP) was investigated....
متن کاملUpdate of Dutch multicenter dose-escalation trial of radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer.
PURPOSE To update the analysis of the Dutch dose-escalation trial of radiotherapy for prostate cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 669 patients with localized prostate cancer were randomly assigned to receive 68 or 78 Gy. The patients were stratified by age, institution, use of neoadjuvant or adjuvant hormonal therapy, and treatment group. The primary endpoint was freedom from failure (FF...
متن کاملReal-time dynamic MLC tracking for inversely optimized arc radiotherapy.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Motion compensation with MLC tracking was tested for inversely optimized arc radiotherapy with special attention to the impact of the size of the target displacements and the angle of the leaf trajectory. MATERIALS AND METHODS An MLC-tracking algorithm was used to adjust the MLC positions according to the target movements using information from an optical real-time posi...
متن کاملImproved Outcomes for Prostate Cancer Using Hypofractionated Radiotherapy and Dose Escalation to 55Gy
Introduction: This Centre has previously reported outcomes for patients treated with neoadjuvant hormone therapy (NAHT) and 52.5Gy in 20 fractions. We now present the outcome data for patients treated with 55Gy in 20 fractions and NAHT. Methods and Materials: 584 patients were treated for T1-T3 node negative prostate cancer. The median age was 67.2 years (range 49-80). All patients received 3 m...
