Cardiac-Sparing IMRT for Left-Sided Breast Cancer

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After the study approval by the local Ethics Committee, ten patients with left-sided BC and unfavorable cardiac anatomy (i.e. maximum heart depth ≥1.0 cm within the tangent fields) and/or unfavorable anatomy (pectus excavatum) and their relative treatment plans were retrieved from our database (Figure S1). These patients were treated between December 2012 and March 2016. All patients had lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy followed by adjuvant radiotherapy. Due to their unfavorable cardiac anatomy, all patients received IMRT using the RapidArc (RA) technology without breath-hold technique. All patients were on supine position, both arms over the head with personalized foam and underwent non-contrast Computed Tomography (CT)-based simulation (Optima CT580 RT, General Electric Healthcare, Waukesha, WI). CT images were acquired using a 2.5 mm slice thickness from the top of the second cervical vertebral body to the bottom of the first lumbar vertebral body.

EBRT for Prostate Cancer Patients

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All patients underwent simulation CT with the GE Optima CT580 RT. During the simulation, the isocenter was located in the middle of the prostate gland. The target volume and organ at risk were delineated on the CT scan. External beam radiation therapy (EBRT) with the conventional (3D-CRT) or modulated techniques [Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) or Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT)] was planned with the Eclipse v11 (Varian Medical System, USA) and Oncentra v 4.2 (Elekta, UK). RapidArc VMAT plans were delivered with a Unique or TrueBeam Stx linear accelerator (Varian Medical System, USA), equipped with Millennium MLC, while 3D-CRT and Static IMRT plans were delivered with an Oncor (Siemens Healthcare, DE) equipped with 160 MLC. All patients were instructed to follow a bowel and bladder preparation protocol before each session of radiotherapy. Different fractionation schedules were used (2, 2.5 or 3 Gy per fraction) for a total equivalent dose (EQD2) of 76–80 Gy, considering an alpha/beta ratio of 1.5 [9] .

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
