Hazards and risks in oncology: radiation oncology
Adverse effects and hazards which have their origin from radiation using conventional techniques like 3-D conformal radiotherapy and total radiation doses are well known. However little is known about the sprectum of especially late toxicity after radiation using new technologies like intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) combined with novel target volume and dose concepts. Since IMRT allows ...

متن کاملRadiation Oncology
Objective: Intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) is an exciting new technique with the potential to improve radiotherapy treatment by reducing dose to normal structures and increasing dose to the cancer. The objective was to investigate the potential value of IMRT in the treatment of sarcoma. To compare normal tissue sparing and treatment volume coverage for both three dimensional conformal (...
متن کاملAdvances in radiation oncology.
Advances in radiation oncology have been made on three major fronts: biology, physics, and clinical application. Our biological understanding of how radiation kills cells and how malignant cells avoid damage has identified new targets for therapeutic manipulation. Research in physics has yielded sophisticated methods to direct the deposition of radiation energy in ways that enhance target cover...
متن کاملQuality in radiation oncology.
A modern approach to quality was developed in the United States at Bell Telephone Laboratories during the first part of the 20th century. Over the years, those quality techniques have been adopted and extended by almost every industry. Medicine in general and radiation oncology in particular have been slow to adopt modern quality techniques. This work contains a brief description of the history...
