The limited ability to control for the location of a tumour compromises the accuracy with
which radiation can be delivered to tumour-bearing tissue. The resultant requirement for …

Purpose. To determine the dose response parameters and the fractionation sensitivity of
prostate tumours from clinical results of patients treated with external beam radiotherapy …

Background Studies have reported a low α/β ratio for prostate cancer, suggesting that
hypofractionation could enhance the biological tumour dose without increasing …

Purpose To determine if escalated radiation dose using hypofractionation significantly
reduces biochemical and/or clinical disease failure (BCDF) in men treated primarily for …

BACKGROUND: The long‐term survival of patients with high‐risk prostate cancer was
compared after radical prostatectomy (RRP) and after external beam radiation therapy …

Purpose: To study the outcomes in patients treated for localized prostate cancer with 70 Gy
delivered at 2.5-Gy/fraction within 5 weeks. Methods and Materials: The study sample …

A great deal of quantitative information regarding the dose–volume relationships of pelvic
organs at risk has been collected and analysed over the last 10 years. The need to improve …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the long-term efficacy and toxicity of a hypofractionated (55 Gy in 20
fractions within 4 weeks) vs. a conventionally fractionated (64 Gy in 32 fractions within 6.5 …

PURPOSE: To report long-term results and patterns of failure after conventional and
hypofractionated radiation therapy in high-risk prostate cancer. METHODS AND …

Progress in radiotherapy is guided by the need to realize improved dose distributions, ie the
ability to reduce the treatment volume toward the target volume and still ensuring coverage …
