Aims: Research the possibility of using IMRT for rectal cancer patients in preoperative radiotherapy. Methods and Material: The research object is the preoperative radiotherapy plan for rectal cancer patients. The research group made two plans (IMRT, 3DCRT) for each image series of 34 rectal ...
"IMRT reduces the risk of short-term bowel and bladder side effects for patients with endometrial and cervical cancer," said Ann Klopp, MD, PhD, lead study author and an associate professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology, University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, in Houston. She...
Through the development of four relevant clinical questions related with the proposed subject, we tried to present the main evidence for safety, toxicity and effectiveness using different radiotherapy techniques. The study population consisted of female patients of all ages with primary breast cancer trea...
The aim of this study was (1) to evaluate the accuracy of RapidPlan prediction capability in IMRT (Eclipse, Varian) plans for individual liver cancer patients by using model libraries consisting of different total number of plans, with different similarity; and (2) to investigate the prediction ...
Methods: For 7 patients with lung cancer, IMRT treatment plans were generated on a full inspiration (FI) Computed Tomography (CT) and a Mid Intensity Position (MIP) CT. Moreover, in order to achieve an accelerated gated IMRT, multiple respiratory phase plans were calculated: 2-phase plans ...
Objective:The primary aim of this study was to compare the incidence of acute adverse reactions and dosimetricparameters of postoperative cervical cancer patients with intensity modulated radiotherapy(IMRT)and volumetric modulated arctherapy(VMAT),and to provide the reasonable selection of the cervical canc...
In this study, the presence and titer of high risk human papilloma virus (HPV) and expression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in pre-treatment biopsies, as well as smoking and gender were examined in oropharynx cancer patients enrolled in an organ sparing trial. HPV16 copy number ...
