Dosimetric and biological comparison of treatment plans between EDGE and CyberKnife systems in stereotactic body radiation therapy for localized prostate cancer
Abstract:Aims: The aim of this study was to make a quantitative comparison of plan quality between MLC-based EDGE system and the cone-based CyberKnife system in stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for patients with localized prostate cancer.Materials and methods: Ten patients with prostate volumes ranging from 34.65 to 82.16 cc were used for prostate SBRT. Treatment plans were created for both EDGE and CyberKnife G4 systems using the same dose-volume constraints. Dosimetric indices including Planning Tumor Volum… Show more
