Three-dimensional gel dosimetry for dose volume histogram verification in compensator-based IMRT
Background: Some tissues in human body are radiobiologically different from water and these inhomogeneity must be considered in dose calculation in order to achieve an accurate dose delivery. Dose verification in complex radiation therapy techniques, such as intensity‐modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) calls for volumetric, tissue equivalent and energy independent dosimeter. The purpose of this...
متن کاملVaginal dose, toxicity and sexual outcomes in patients of cervical cancer undergoing image based brachytherapy.
BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to evaluate the vaginal dose and toxicity in patients of cervical cancer treated with image guided brachytherapy at our institute. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-five patients treated with image based brachytherapy for cervical cancer were included. Vaginal contouring was done on MRI at brachytherapy and with CT scans of subsequent brachytherapy fractions. Do...
متن کاملImpact of tumor volume and systemic therapy on outcome in patients undergoing IMRT for large volume head neck cancer
BACKGROUND Former prospective analyses revealed gross tumor volume (GTV) as the most reliable parameter to statistically significantly predict disease control in head neck cancer (HNC) patients treated with definitive intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) +/-concomitant systemic therapy. The most 'unfavourable' subgroup was characterized by total GTV (tGTV) of > 70 cc, translating in ~50...
متن کاملSU-E-T-612: Hybrid-Input-Output Algorithm for IMRT Optimization with Dose-Volume Histogram Constraints.
PURPOSE Dose-volume histogram (DVH) is a clinically relevant criterion to evaluate a treatment plan quality. It is hence desirable to incorporate DVH constraints in treatment planning process for intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). Yet, these constraints usually lead to difficulties due to their non-convex nature. The purpose of this project is to solve the IMRT optimization problem w...
متن کاملLentinula edodes for Gastrointestinal Cancer Patients Undergoing Cancer Chemotherapy
It is desirable for advanced gastrointestinal cancer patients to continue chemotherapy with fewer adverse effects as long as possible. Oral adjuvant is attractive for them because it has little burden. Lentinula edodes has long been utilized as an edible mushroom in East Asia. A 1969 report showed that Lentinan, a high molecular weight neutral polysaccharide purified from a hot water-extract of...
