Post-Prostatectomy Image-Guided Radiotherapy: The Invisible Target Concept
In the era of intensity-modulated radiation therapy, image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) appears crucial to control dose delivery and to promote dose escalation while allowing healthy tissue sparing. The place of IGRT following radical prostatectomy is poorly described in the literature. This review aims to highlight some key points on the different IGRT techniques applicable to prostatic bed radi...
متن کاملRationale and development of image-guided intensity-modulated radiotherapy post-prostatectomy: the present standard of care?
The indications for post-prostatectomy radiotherapy have evolved over the last decade, although the optimal timing, dose, and target volume remain to be well defined. The target volume is susceptible to anatomical variations with its borders interfacing with the rectum and bladder. Image-guided intensity-modulated radiotherapy has become the gold standard for radical prostate radiotherapy. Here...
متن کاملDefinition and visualisation of regions of interest in post-prostatectomy image-guided intensity modulated radiotherapy
INTRODUCTION Standard post-prostatectomy radiotherapy (PPRT) image verification uses bony anatomy alignment. However, the prostate bed (PB) moves independently of bony anatomy. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) can be used to soft tissue match, so radiation therapists (RTs) must understand pelvic anatomy and PPRT clinical target volumes (CTV). The aims of this study are to define regions of ...
متن کاملToxicity after post-prostatectomy image-guided intensity-modulated radiotherapy using Australian guidelines.
INTRODUCTION We evaluated single institution toxicity outcomes after post-prostatectomy radiotherapy (PPRT) via image-guided intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IG-IMRT) with implanted fiducial markers following national eviQ guidelines, for which late toxicity outcomes have not been published. METHODS Prospectively collected toxicity data were retrospectively reviewed for 293 men who unde...
متن کاملLong-term decision regret after post-prostatectomy image-guided intensity-modulated radiotherapy.
INTRODUCTION Decision regret (DR) may occur when a patient believes their outcome would have been better if they had decided differently about their management. Although some studies investigate DR after treatment for localised prostate cancer, none report DR in patients undergoing surgery and post-prostatectomy radiotherapy. We evaluated DR in this group of patients overall, and for specific c...
