DOI: 10.1016/s0167-8140(17)31978-3
Abstract: For patients with recurring prostate cancer around 90% of relapses occur at the location of the primary tumor. That motivates further local dose escalation to avoid enhanced doses to rectum and bladder. Boosting the dominant… read more here.

Helical tomotherapy for asymptomatic chemotherapy-refractory or -unfit multiple (3 or more) metastases
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Reports of Practical Oncology and Radiotherapy"
DOI: 10.5603/rpor.a2022.0016
Abstract: Background Despite chemotherapy innovations, prognosis of patients with chemotherapy-refractory or -unfit multiple metastases (CRMM/CUMM) remains poor. In this prospective study, the efficacy and toxicity of helical tomotherapy for CRMM/CUMM were evaluated. Materials and methods Between… read more here.
