Image-guided prostate radiotherapy: analysis of inter- fractional setup errors
Introduction: The accuracy of the patient setup and tumor location are major factors that determine the efficacy of radiotherapy treatment planning. In the prostate radiotherapy, reproducibility of the prostate location for each treatment fraction is problematic owing to varying filling of the rectum and bladder. According to this, the aim of this study was to measure the inte...
متن کامل3-Dimensional conformal radiotherapy versus intensity modulated radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer: Dosimetric and radiobiologic analysis
Background: To analyze the dosimetric and radio biologic advantages between intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and 3 dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) and selection of optimal photon energy for IMRT treatments. Material and methods: 24 patients with localized prostate carcinoma were planned for 3DCRT and IMRT techniques. Radiation dose of 54 Gy with 2 Gy/fraction, was planned to ...
متن کاملاندازهگیری دوز جذبی مثانه و رکتوم در پرتودرمانی سرطان پروستات با روش دوزیمتری ترمولومینسانس
Background and Aim: Increased mortality rate�due to prostate cancer shows the growth of this disease.Prostate cancer is the second most widespread malignancy after lung cancer in men.It is important to use new methods in the radiation therapy of prostate cancer that are associated with lower exposure of the normal tissues. Nowadays, in most of the radiotherapy centers in our country, the Co-60 ...
متن کاملDosimetric Comparison of Various Radiotherapeutic Treatment Plans Using Cobalt-60 and Linac for Prostate Cancer
Introduction: This study was designed to evaluate dosimetric parameters such as rectal dose, bladder dose, integral dose (ID), homogeneity index (HI) and conformity index (CI) in various treatment plans for prostate cancer. Materials and Methods: Pelvic computed tomography (CT) scans of 27 patients were acquired and transferred to the RTDosePLAN treatment planning system. For each patient, 8 co...
متن کاملProstate-specific antigen kinetics after hypofractionated stereotactic body radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer
Background: stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) has emerged as an effective treatment for localized prostate cancer. However, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) kinetics after SBRT has not been well characterized. The objective of the current study is to analyze the rate of PSA decline and PSA nadir following hypofractonated SBRT in localized prostate cancer. Materials and Methods: From 2008...
