Newer techniques, such as 3-D conformal radiotherapy, intensity modulated radiotherapy, and image guided radiotherapy, obtain an extremely accurate shaping of the target that receives the prescribed ...

For over a century, radiotherapy has revolutionised cancer treatment. Technological advancements aim to deliver high doses to ...

treated with conformal or intensity-modulated radiotherapy. Increased doses of radiation resulted in a nonlinear increase in impairment of saliva production. The greatest reduction in saliva ...

Higher radiation doses can be delivered via CT-based three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy with or without intensity modulation, or using other image guidance. Ongoing trials (EORTC 22043 ...
