The use of conformal radiotherapy and the selection of radiation dose in T1 or T2 low or intermediate risk prostate cancer – a systematic review

Simplified intensity-modulated arc therapy for dose escalated prostate cancer radiotherapy

“…1 A variety of 3-dimensional (3D) conformal radiotherapy techniques have been described. While all utilize beam's-eye-view (BEV) conformal field shaping, beam trajectory and number differ between techniques and produce variable tradeoffs between target coverage and normal tissue irradiation.…”

Optimal treatment of intermediate‐risk prostate carcinoma with radiotherapy

“…70 Brundage et al, as part of the Ontario Practice Guidelines process, also found considerable evidence for the use of dose-escalated EBRT (e.g., doses Ͼ 74 Gy) in the intermediate-risk group. 71 Nilsson et al, using the principles adopted by the Swedish Council of Technology Assessment in Health Care, reached the same conclusion. 72 Kuban et al reported the bFFS of a multiinstitutional cohort of 4839 patients with T1 and T2 prostate carcinoma who were treated with EBRT alone and were followed for a minimum of 5 years.…”

Moderate Dose Escalation in Three-Dimensional Conformal Localized Prostate Cancer Radiotherapy

“…Once more the minimum level required to achieve proper tumor control remains unknown. The Cancer Care Ontario guidelines [3] recommended a local dose in the range of 75-78 Gy.…”
