Radiation treatment planning for prostate cancer: A new dosimetric comparison of five and seven fields IMRT plans

Background: To compare the dosimetric coverage of the planning target volume (PTV) and the dose delivered to the main Organs at Risk (OARs) in 5 and 7-field techniques of Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) in patients with local prostate cancer. Materials and Methods: Twelve patients with local prostate cancer underwent 5 and 7-field IMRT planning. The delivery of IMRT was carried out...

Analysis of Hip Joint Dose in Prostate Cancer Radiation Therapy: A Dosimetric Comparison of Treatment Plans

Background and purpose: Radiation therapy as a part of cancer treatment is used in almost 50-60% of involved cases. In prostate cancer radiation therapy, a large volume of pelvis is irradiated, so, it is necessary to preserve sensitive organs around the treatment area, especially rectum and bladder. In this study, some dosimetric parameters such as minimum dose (Dmin), maximum dose (Dmax), mean...

XWH - 12 - 1 - 0477 TITLE : Reducing toxicity of radiation treatment of advanced prostate cancer

Bone marrow suppression due to ionizing radiation is a significant clinical problem in radiation therapy andfollowing non-medical radiation exposure. Currently, no small molecule agents that can enhance hematopoieticregeneration following radiation exposure are available. Here, we report the effective mitigation of acutehematopoietic radiation syndrome in mice by the synthetic trite...
