Description

The authors report a prospective and comparative analysis of the main dosimetric, physical, biological and probabilistic parameters concerning tumour target volumes and organs at risk for three new types of intensity-modulated conformational radiotherapy (IMRT): helical tomo-therapy, VMat-type dynamic arc-therapy (volumetric modulated ar therapy), and RapidArc-type dynamic arc-therapy. They also report the validation of new predictive dosimetric parameters in patients with ENT cancers. Short communication
