Dose-volume comparison of proton therapy and intensity-modulated radiotherapy for prostate cancer.
PURPOSE The contrast in dose distribution between proton radiotherapy (RT) and intensity-modulated RT (IMRT) is unclear, particularly in regard to critical structures such as the rectum and bladder. METHODS AND MATERIALS Between August and November 2006, the first 10 consecutive patients treated in our Phase II low-risk prostate proton protocol (University of Florida Proton Therapy Institute ...
متن کاملPatient-reported complications after cryoablation therapy for prostate cancer.
OBJECTIVES To define the patient-reported complications after cryoablation therapy for prostate cancer and to compare these results to previously published patient-reported complications for radical prostatectomy and external beam irradiation. METHODS A questionnaire similar to previously published patient-reported complication studies was sent to the first 290 patients treated by cryoablatio...
متن کاملProton Therapy for Prostate Cancer - Cancer Network
Proton therapy has been used in the treatment of cancer for over 50 years. Due to its unique dose distribution with its spread-out Bragg peak, proton therapy can deliver highly conformal radiation to cancers located adjacent to critical normal structures. One of the important applications of its use is in prostate cancer, since the prostate is located adjacent to the rectum and bladder. Over 30...
متن کاملThe Role of MRSI in Target Volume Definition for Radiation Therapy of Prostate Cancer
Introduction: Recently, magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI), as a functional imaging method, has been used for clinical target volume definition. In this study, we used this method to define the target volume in prostate radiotherapy. Material and Method: In this study, we used images of 20 prostate cancer cases. MRSI and MRI images were fused with CT images. Then, treatment plannin...
متن کاملGastrointestinal dose-histogram effects in the context of dose-volume-constrained prostate radiation therapy: analysis of data from the RADAR prostate radiation therapy trial.
PURPOSE To use a high-quality multicenter trial dataset to determine dose-volume effects for gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity following radiation therapy for prostate carcinoma. Influential dose-volume histogram regions were to be determined as functions of dose, anatomical location, toxicity, and clinical endpoint. METHODS AND MATERIALS Planning datasets for 754 participants in the TROG 03.04 ...
