While arguably the most mature site for IMRT use, prostate treatments still require great care in order to achieve the intended results. The prostate is a mobile structure compared to the surrounding bony anatomy. Daily setup, immobilization and localization uncertainties can be addressed by ...

IMRT Largely Replaces EBRT For Treating Prostate Cancer.The article reports on the findings of the study by Matthew J. O'Shaughnessy of the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, which shows that intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) replaces 3D external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) as the ...
Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) has become an effective tool for cancer treatment with radiation. However, even expert radiation planners still need to spend a substantial amount of time, approximately 4 hours, manually adjusting IMRT optimization parameters such as dose limits and costlet weigh...
Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is an advanced form of radiotherapy for the treatment of cancer that allows, on one hand, to administer a more homogeneous dose to the patients on the volume to irradiate (which would increase the local control of the disease), and on the other ...
CancerRadiation therapyMedical treatment planningPurpose:IMRT is a common treatment modality for prostate radiotherapy. With IMRT, the optimization of the fluence map renders the flattening filter unnecessary. Flattening鈥恌ilter free therapy for IMRT has been investigated recently, but clinical evaluations ...

However, it often requires long (≥5 years) follow-up and has not been proven to be prognostic for either prostate cancer–specific or overall survival. Moreover, the use of hormone therapy is becoming more common, even in intermediate-risk patients, which confounds and delays the analysis ...
