Abstract:

60-year-old woman was treated for a brain metastasis. The patient received intensity-modulated radiation therapy (SIB-IMRT) dose of 30 Gy for the whole brain and 40 Gy delivered simultaneously to individual brain metastases in 10 fractions. The present report investigated the influence of applied novel prepared treatment plan, among others the fractionation protocol on the electroencephalogram (EEG) record.

Intensity-modulated radiation therapy with simultaneous integrated boost in unresected left-sided pleural mesothelioma: a case report.

A 77-year-old male patient with unresected malignant pleural mesothelioma, clinical stage T3N0M0 according to the New International Staging System for Diffuse Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma, received intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) with a simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) after 6 cycles of chemotherapy with cisplatin and pemetrexed. SIB-IMRT delivered 40.5 Gy (1.5 Gy/fraction) to the ...

Feasibility of simultaneous integrated boost with forward intensity-modulated radiation therapy for multiple brain metastases

AIM OF THE STUDY To evaluate the feasibility of whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) with a simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) by forward intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in patients with 1-3 brain metastases. MATERIAL AND METHODS Two forward IMRT plans were implemented among 18 patients. In plan A, the prescribed dose was 30 Gy to the whole brain (PTVWBRT) and 50 Gy to individual bra...

Monte Carlo dose verification of prostate patients treated with simultaneous integrated boost intensity modulated radiation therapy

BACKGROUND To evaluate the dosimetric differences between Superposition/Convolution (SC) and Monte Carlo (MC) calculated dose distributions for simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) prostate cancer intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) compared to experimental (film) measurements and the implications for clinical treatments. METHODS Twenty-two prostate patients treated with an in-house SIB-IM...

Clinical evaluation of simultaneous integrated boost in brain metastasis patients with helical intensity modulated radiotherapy

Background: This study was performed to assess patient survival and treatment toxicity after helical tomotherapy (HT) with simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) radiotherapy (RT) for cancer patients with one to eight brain metastases (BM) who have been treated with or without surgery. Materials and Methods: A total of 48 brain metastasis (BM) patients were included in this retrospective study bet...

Radiation Therapy with a Simultaneous Integrated Boost

Radiotherapy has an established role in the treatment of cancer and represents a definitive, less invasive approach for various cancer types. Its main aim is to deliver the maximum dose to the tumor with minimal toxicity on neighboring healthy tissues. Therefore, the precise determination of the target and its spatial relation to critical surrounding organs is of main importance. New imaging mo...
