The impact of the three degrees-of-freedom fiducial marker-based setup compared to soft tissue-based setup in hypofractionated intensity-modulated radiotherapy for prostate cancer.

CONCLUSIONS: The setup accuracy of the 3DOF-FM-based setup has the potential to be interchangeable with a ST-based setup. Our data are likely to be useful in clinical practice along with the popularization of the hypofractionated IMRT in prostate cancer. PMID: 31054217 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
