Is Single Arc Technique in Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy Good Enough for Prostate Cancer? - Abstract
Advancement in treatment delivery techniques in external beam radiation therapy has significantly improved the conformal radiation dose distributions to the tumor while reducing dose to the critical structures. Modern treatment techniques combined with sophisticated treatment planning systems have led to increase in the treatment planning studies in the recent years. In this article, we review the application of the most recent treatment delivery technique in photon based radiation therapy known as volumetric modulated radiation therapy (VMAT). Furthermore, this article is focused on the VMAT
planning for the prostate cancer.
