The aim of this study is to compare intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and dynamic conformal arc therapy (DAT) for prostate cancer treatments. Doses received by in-field and out-of-field organs were estimated for both techniques.We selected five patients with a prostate cancer and we simulated their treatment by IMRT and DAT A 6-beam (6MV) ballistic was used for the IMRT treatment whereas...
Radiotherapy (RT) has been successfully reducing margins around tumours and sparing healthy tissues and organsat- risk. Nevertheless, unavoidable doses are still delivered outside the treated volume, and might play a role in generating negative long-term effects. Thus, the more radiotherapy lengthens patients’ life, the better the out-of-field dose should be estimated. Unfortunately, actual treatment...
