Dosimetric comparison of conventional and field-in-field techniques in early stage breast cancer radiotherapy
Introduction: Breast conserving surgery followed by adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) of the whole breast is accepted as the treatment of choice in early stage breast cancer. Due to breast irregularities, it is difficult to access homogenous dose distribution with conventional techniques. Currently, it is possible to use varied breast irradiation techniques, such as field- in-field (F...
متن کاملDosimetric comparisons of VMAT, IMRT and 3DCRT for locally advanced rectal cancer with simultaneous integrated boost
PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to compare the dosimetric differences among volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), fixed-field intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) for the preoperative locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). METHODS Ten LARC patients treated in our department using the simultaneous escalate strategy were retrospec...
متن کاملDosimetric comparison of whole breast radiotherapy using field in field and conformal radiotherapy techniques in early stage breast cancer
Background: We aimed to compare field-in-field technique (FIF) with conformal tangential field radiotherapy (CRT) in terms of dosimetric benefits for early stage breast cancer radiotherapy. Materials and Methods: Twenty consecutive left-side breast cancer patients who underwent breast-conserving surgery were included to the study. For each patient, two different treatment plans were cr...
متن کاملSimultaneous integrated boost radiotherapy for thyroid cancer.
AIM The purpose of this study was to examine the usefulness of using Simultaneous Integrated Boost (SIB) radiotherapy for thyroid cancer treatment. BACKGROUND At our hospital a 3D Conformal RadioTherapy (3D-CRT) technique involving photon and electron beams for the treatment of thyroid cancer was often used.(1) High dose to the spinal canal was limiting the total dose of such a treatment. Aft...
متن کاملComparison between field-in-field technique and the use of conventional wedges for treatment planning of esophageal cancer
Introduction: This study was conducted to evaluate and quantify the treatment planning performance of MLC-optimized field-in-field planning technique (FIF), also named forward IMRT, versus wedge-based three field (W3F) technique in terms of dosimetric and radiobiological parameters for esophageal carcinoma. Material and Methods: Twenty patients with esophag...
