Clinically derived dose-response relations for rectum and penile bulb from combine photon and proton radiotherapy of prostate cancer

Recent advances in radiation therapy have provided the possibility of combining different modalities, energies and particles in different parts of the treatment. However, there are very limited data on the clinical effectiveness of these modalities. The purpose of this study was the determination of...

Περιγραφή
Περίληψη:Recent advances in radiation therapy have provided the possibility of combining different modalities, energies and particles in different parts of the treatment. However, there are very limited data on the clinical effectiveness of these modalities. The purpose of this study was the determination of the parameters D50 and γ for the prostate adenocarcinoma, the rectum and the penile bulb using different radiobiological models, when proton and photon beams are combined.
