Dosimetric comparison of irradiated small bowel volume with intensity modulated radiotherapy and volumetric modulated arc therapy in adjuvant pelvic radiation therapy for endometrial carcinoma
Abstract:Newer treatment techniques help in reducing dose to small bowel (SB) which is an organ at risk (OAR) for pelvic radiotherapy (RT). However, instead of SB, bowel bag is contoured routinely and constraints are given. In this retrospective case series, we compared the dose received by SB while using intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) techniques in patients receiving adjuvant pelvic RT for endometrial carcinoma. 10 patients with stage II EC who received VMAT we… Show more
