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 ...

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 ...

March 18, 2009 -- Question: What is 3-D conformal radiation therapy, and when is it used to treat prostate cancer? Answer: Three-D conformal radiation is an older technique which combines using CT ...

Types of external radiotherapy. There are many different types of external radiotherapy. The treatment you have depends on your cancer and its position in the body. For information about radiotherapy ...

The majority of respondents (41.73%) preferred using 3D conformal radiation therapy (3DCRT). More resource-intensive techniques such as intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and SBRT are used ...

In the article that accompanies this editorial, Mukesh et al 1 from Cambridge University report a randomized study comparing two external-beam radiotherapy techniques for early-stage breast cancer.

Results from a new study led by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center support standard use of the more precise intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) over the alternative ...

Stephen Chun, M.D., Associate Professor of Radiation Oncology. 3D-CRT aims and shapes radiation in straight lines directed at tumors, but it lacks the ability to curve and bend to complex shapes ...
