Dosimetric comparison of organs at risk in 5 different radiotherapy plans in patients with preoperatively irradiated rectal cancer
Conclusions:
IMRT plans reduced almost all the OARs doses compared with the 3D-CRT plan in rectal cancer patients. Furthermore, SIB plans demonstrated lower OAR doses than the phase plans. IMRT techniques, especially SIB plans, reduce OAR doses and provide safer doses for the treatment of rectal carcinoma.
