A method for standardizing intensity modulated radiation therapy planning optimization for nasopharyngeal carcinoma
Background: To investigate a method for standardizing intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) optimization for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), in order to reduce the influence of subjective factors. Materials and Methods: This study is based on example IMRT plans for NPC, which were randomly divided into data acquisition and data verification groups. Organs at risk (OARs) were analyzed for...
متن کاملDosimetric predictors of hypothyroidism in oropharyngeal cancer patients treated with intensity-modulated radiation therapy
BACKGROUND Radiation to the neck has long been associated with an elevated risk of hypothyroidism development. The goal of the present work is to define dosimetric predictors of hypothyroidism in oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) patients treated with intensity-modulated radiation therapy. METHODS Data for 123 patients, with a median follow up of 4.6 years, were retrospectively analyzed. Patients wi...

متن کاملIntensity-modulated radiation therapy as primary treatment for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma.
BACKGROUND Over the past decade, intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) has gained widespread use in the treatment of head and neck cancer. METHODS All patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the oropharynx treated with primary IMRT with or without chemotherapy over a 5-year period were reviewed. Outcomes and morbidity were analyzed and compared with previously published data. RESULT...
