Dose-volume analysis of target volume and critical structures in computed tomography image-based multicatheter high-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy for head and neck cancer
Purpose To evaluate dose-volume relationships of target volume and critical structures in computed tomography (CT) image-based brachytherapy for head and neck cancer. Material and methods Thirty-seven patients with mobile tongue, floor of mouth, and base of tongue cancer treated with brachytherapy (post-operative alone and as a boost after external beam radiotherapy [EBRT], or definitive alon...
متن کاملThe effect of high energy photon beam in dose- volume parameters and integral dose of normal structures in Head and neck IMRT
Introduction: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of partially used high photon energies on dosimetric parameters and integral doses of nasopharynx IMRT plans. Materials and Methods: Two 7 coplanar IMRT plan were created for eleven patients (6 MV only IMRT plan in both phase1 and phase2 and 6 MV phase1-mixed energies (6 MV and 15 MV) phase2...
متن کاملDose-volume parameters and clinical outcome of CT-guided free-hand high-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy for cervical cancer
Currently, image-based 3-dimentional (3D) planning brachytherapy allows for a better assessment of gross tumor volume (GTV) and the definition and delineation of target volume in cervix cancer. In this study, we investigated the feasibility of our novel computed tomography (CT)-guided free-hand high-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy (HDRISBT) technique for cervical cancer by evaluating the d...
متن کاملComparative evaluation of two-dimensional radiography and three dimensional computed tomography based dose-volume parameters for high-dose-rate intracavitary brachytherapy of cervical cancer: a prospective study.
BACKGROUND Dosimetric comparison of two dimensional (2D) radiography and three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) based dose distributions with high-dose-rate (HDR) intracavitry radiotherapy (ICRT) for carcinoma cervix, in terms of target coverage and doses to bladder and rectum. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty four sessions of HDR ICRT were performed in 22 patients. External beam radiothera...
متن کاملComputed tomography–based image-guided brachytherapy for cervical cancer: correlations between dose–volume parameters and clinical outcomes
This study evaluated the oncologic outcomes and complications of cervical cancer patients in terms of CT-based image-guided brachytherapy (IGBT) parameters. Of 68 cervical cancer patients treated with definitive radiotherapy/concurrent chemoradiotherapy, most received whole-pelvis external beam RT (EBRT) of 40 Gy in 20 fractions, pelvic EBRT with central shield of 10 Gy in 5 fractions, and CT-b...
