External photon beam radiotherapy is usually carried out with more than one radiation beam in order to achieve a uniform dose distribution inside the target volume and an as low as possible a dose in healthy tissues surrounding the target. ICRU Report No. 50 recommends a target dose uniformity within +7% and –5% of the dose delivered to a well defined prescription point within the target. Moder...
Introduction: Rectal and bladder cancer are the most common disease among young man. Although External Radiotherapy (EBRT) is one of the most effective treatment options introduced so far, the testis undesired radiation dose increases the risk of infertility and hormonal malfunctioning. The testicles are usually outside of the radiation field, but they can be exposed either to ...
Background: Monte Carlo (MC) modeling of a linear accelerator is a prerequisite for Monte Carlo dose calculations in external beam radiotherapy. In this study, a simple and efficient model was developed for Elekta SL-25 linear accelerator using MCNP4C Monte Carlo code Materials and methods: The head of Elekta SL-25 linac was simulated for 6 and 18 MV photon beams using MCNP4C MC code. Energ...
Differentiated thyroid cancer comprises papillary, mixed papillary-follicular and follicular adenocarcinomas. They are mostly hormone-sensitive and respond to thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) suppression. The standard treatment is total thyroidectomy, (131)I therapy and thyroid hormone suppression therapy. Adjuvant external radiotherapy is discussed controversially. Most authors recommend adju...
PURPOSE This randomized, prospective study assesses the impact of postoperative external-beam radiation therapy on local recurrence (LR), overall survival (OS), and quality of life after limb-sparing resection of extremity sarcomas. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with extremity tumors and a limb-sparing surgical option were randomized to receive or not receive postoperative adjuvant external-b...
Breast conservation by wide local excision for early breast cancer is now considered safe and should be considered default therapy wherever possible. Unfortunately, this requires access to costly radiotherapy centers. Many women in the developing world or for that matter in wealthy countries with large land masses and small populations do not have access to radiotherapy and are therefore denied...
