Radiation has been widely used to treat prostate cancer for almost 100 years. Early results were suboptimal, but a series of important technical improvements in the 1980s and 1990s allowed substantial dose escalation for external beam and brachytherapy radiation. The technical improvements were ...

Multifocal illumination of the sample was achieved by a diffractive optical element (DOE, custom made by Holoeye) which splits the laser beam into an array of 25 ×25 foci. A virtual light sheet was created by spiral scanning the foci within the 50 ms exposure time of the camera using ...
ASCENDE-RT*: A multicenter, randomized trial of dose-escalated external beam radiation therapy (EBRT-B) versus low-dose-rate brachytherapy (LDR-B) for men with unfavorable-risk localized prostate cancer 3 Background: This trial compared the efficacy of DE-EBRT and LDR-B for National Comprehensiv...
We demonstrate the method for three different tumor sites: a head-and-neck case, a prostate case, and a paraspinal case. For that purpose, we first obtain a reference plan for intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) using fluence map optimization and 20 equally spaced beam directions. ...
Adjuvant whole-breast external beam radiation therapy (AWBRT) is an integral part of the current standard multimodality approach for early stage breast cancer[1]. Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) has been shown to increase intra-target dose homogeneity and to spare organs at risk[2]....
This first problem is called the Beam Angle Optimisation (BAO) problem. Then, we must optimise the radiation intensity delivered from each angle to the tumour. This second problem is called the Fluence Map Optimisation (FMO) problem. Finally, we need to generate a set of apertures for each ...
