Single-fraction SBRT did not significantly improve bone pain compared to conventional RT. Complete response rates were 37% with SBRT versus 25% with 3D conformal RT at 1 month and remained non ...

Professor Fuli Zhang's team pioneered the first millimeter-wave low-profile cross-shaped conformal programmable metasurface. This innovative design adopts a radiation-type programmable surface ...

Patients who received short-term ADT with high-dose radiotherapy were significantly less likely to experience biochemical failure (10% vs 21%; HR, 0.45; P = .001), but there was no significant ...

The two most common types of conformal radiation are stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), which delivers fewer, but higher doses of radiation per treatment to the tumor site, and hippocampal avoidance ...

3D-CRT aims and shapes radiation in straight lines directed at tumors, but it lacks the ability to curve and bend to complex shapes, resulting in unnecessary radiation exposure of nearby organs.

“The use of conformal radiation and dose escalation for symptomatic bone metastases has moved from the experimental domain toward routine clinical care for many patients,” said Sara Alcorn, MD ...

Intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) is a type of conformal radiotherapy. Conformal radiotherapy shapes the radiation beams to closely fit the area of cancer. You can have IMRT on a standard ...

Planning conformal radiotherapy Planning conformal radiotherapy treatment involves several steps. You usually have a CT scan to create a 3D image that your radiotherapy plan will be based on. You ...

Conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) is the advancement of radiation therapy where radiation is given to cancer areas with sparing the surrounding normal tissue by using a CT simulator, Multileaf ...

Conformal radiation therapy (CRT), for example, combines computer tomography (CT) images with specialized tumors to allow physicians to identify tumors in three dimensions.

Radiation Therapy for Brain Tumors According to cancer.net, an estimated 24,530 adults in the United States will be diagnosed with a primary cancerous tumor of the central nervous system.
