The effect of Rectal Retractor, a rectal protector on rectal dose in radical prostate radiotherapy
Introduction: The close proximity of the rectum tissue to the prostate gland results in rectal toxicity during prostate radiotherapy. Rectal Retractor (RR) is a rectal displacement technique that inserts into the rectum, as a result, the lateral and dorsal part of the rectal wall push away from high dose areas. The aim of this study was to investigate the dosimetric consequence...
متن کاملEvaluation of incidence of intestinal complications during radiation therapy in two supine and prone positions in patients with rectal cancer
Introduction: Radiation therapy is one of the main treatments for rectal cancer. In three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy, exposure of healthy tissue around the tumor is unavoidable. The small intestine is the most important organ at risk of rectal cancer radiotherapy. Intestinal complications are a major factor limiting the dose radiotherapy for rectal cancer. The most com...
متن کاملRadiotherapy for rectal cancer: Short course versus long course – When and how
Prior to the introduction of improved surgical techniques such as total mesorectal excision, local recurrence rates after resection were unacceptably high with surgery alone. Phase III trials were designed to determine the benefit of the addition of radiotherapy to radical surgery, and these have reported significant reductions in local recurrence. Two different strategies were evaluated in the...
متن کاملSafe distal margin resection in patients with low rectal cancer undergoing neoadjuvant chemoradiation
Background: Colorectal carcinoma is the third most common cause of death in Iran. This study was performed in order to determine the appropriate distal clearance margin (DCM) for resection of rectal cancer in patients who undergo neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for sphincter preserving procedure. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted in Shahid Faghihi Hospital of Shira...
متن کاملShort-course versus long-course neoadjuvant radiotherapy for lower rectal cancer: a systematic review.
OBJECTIVE To analyse the efficacy of short-course (SCRT) versus long-course radiotherapy/chemoradiation (LCRT) as a neoadjuvant modality for the management of lower rectal cancer (LRC). METHODS A systematic review of the literature was undertaken. Selected trials were analysed to generate a summative outcome. RESULTS Seven trials on the efficacy of SCRT versus LCRT as a neoadjuvant modality...
