Dosimetric comparison of coplanar and non-coplanar intensity modulated radiation therapy planning for esophageal carcinoma

  • 1. Department of Radiation Physics, Kidwai Memorial Institute of Oncology, Bengaluru (India)

Description

The curative potential advantage of radiation therapy in the management of esophagus cancer is greatly enhanced by the use of IMRT. The success of IMRT requires the high radiation dose delivery to the tumor, while sparing the surrounding normal tissues. The aim of this study is to compare the feasibility of coplanar and non-coplanar Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) plans to improve the treatment
