Disease relevance of Radiotherapy, Intensity-Modulated

PURPOSE: To determine the efficacy of concurrent 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) followed by body stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer [1].
PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with localized prostate cancer who were undergoing intensity-modulated radiotherapy were treated in a prone position, immobilized with a customized Vac-Lok bag (MED-TEC, Orange City, IA) [2].

High impact information on Radiotherapy, Intensity-Modulated

METHODS AND MATERIALS: From September 2000 to June 2004, 50 patients with T3-T4 NPC were treated with intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) [3].
PURPOSE: Test and comparison of various 2-D real-time detectors for dosimetric quality assurance (QA) of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) with the vision to replace radiographic films for 2-D dosimetry [4].
To overcome some of these restrictions, we have developed a regimen of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) with concurrent capecitabine [5].
PURPOSE: We evaluated the performance of a new dosimetry module in the LC250 scanning liquid-filled ionization chamber (SLIC) electronic portal imaging device (EPID) for intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) verification [6].
The use of electronic portal imaging to verify patient position during intensity-modulated radiotherapy delivered by the dynamic MLC technique [7].

Chemical compound and disease context of Radiotherapy, Intensity-Modulated

PURPOSE: We hypothesized that dynamic intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) would protect normal tissues enough to allow the escalation of either the gemcitabine or radiotherapy dose in unresectable pancreatic cancer patients [8].

Associations of Radiotherapy, Intensity-Modulated with chemical compounds

Linac output dependence on switch time relative to vane open time was determined for four intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) patients from measurements of an ionization chamber embedded in a cylindrical polystyrene phantom [9].
Induction chemotherapy consisted of cisplatin 40 mg/m2 and gemcitabine 1.25 g/m days 1 and 8 for 3 times per week for 3 cycles, followed by reirradiation using intensity-modulated radiotherapy [10].
Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) was delivered using a higher-than-conventional daily fraction size concurrently with interferon and thalidomide [11].
This study focuses on understanding the impact of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) delivery effects when applied to plans generated by commercial treatment-planning systems such as Pinnacle (ADAC Laboratories Inc.) and CadPlan/Helios (Varian Medical Systems) [12].

Gene context of Radiotherapy, Intensity-Modulated

Intensity-modulated radiotherapy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma: dosimetric advantage over conventional plans and feasibility of dose escalation [13].
Kodak EDR2 film is a widely used two-dimensional dosimeter for intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) measurements [14].
For two years now, a study on intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) has been in progress at the Antoine Lacassagne Hospital Center for Cancer Therapy (in Nice) in collaboration with the University of Nice-Sophia Antipolis [15].
If there were no resource constraints, 30% (22/74) and 20% (15/74) would prefer to use a different dose-fractionation scheme for SCLC and NSCLC, respectively; 95% (70/74) would prefer to use 3D-conformal or intensity-modulated radiotherapy [16].
CONCLUSIONS: Intensity-modulated radiotherapy appears to offer several advantages over conventional 3D radiotherapy (3D CRT) planning for adjuvant radiotherapy for gynecologic malignancies [17].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Radiotherapy, Intensity-Modulated

Purpose: To present preliminary results of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) with the simultaneous modulated accelerated radiotherapy (SMART) boost technique in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) [18].
