The introduction of advanced techniques and technology in radiotherapy has greatly
improved our ability to deliver highly conformal tumor doses while minimizing the dose to …

Innovations in cancer treatment have contributed to the improved survival rate of these
patients. Radiotherapy is one of the main options for cancer management nowadays. High …

A growing body of scientific evidence indicates that exposure to low dose ionizing radiation
(< 2 Gy) is associated with a higher risk of developing radio-induced cancer. Additionally, it …

Purpose An accurate assessment of out‐of‐field dose is necessary to estimate the risk of
second cancer after radiotherapy and the damage to the organs at risk surrounding the …

Systematic 3D mapping of out-of-field doses induced by a therapeutic proton pencil
scanning beam in a 300× 300× 600 mm 3 water phantom was performed using a set of …

Background The out-of-the-field absorbed dose affects the probability of primary second
radiation-induced cancers. This is particularly relevant in the case of pediatric treatments …

Purpose This study investigates the difference in whole‐body dose equivalent between 6
and 15 MV image‐guided radiotherapy (IGRT) for the treatment of a rhabdomyosarcoma in …

Considering that cancer survival rates have been growing and that nearly two-thirds of those
survivors were exposed to clinical radiation during its treatment, the study of long-term …

External-beam radiation therapy is safe, effective and widely used to treat cancer. With 5-
year cancer survival for adults above 70%, increasingly research is focusing on quantifying …

More and more advanced radiotherapy techniques have been adopted for post-mastectomy
radiotherapies (PMRT). Patient dose reconstruction is challenging for these advanced …
