Open AccessEfficacy of virtual block objects in reducing the lung dose in helical tomotherapy planning for cervical oesophageal cancer: a planning study
Intensity-modulated radiotherapy is useful for cervical oesophageal carcinoma (CEC); however, increasing low-dose exposure to the lung may lead to radiation pneumonitis. Nevertheless, an irradiation technique ...

A case of severe hemoptysis after stereotactic body radiotherapy for peripherally located stage I non-small cell lung cancer
In stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for centrally located non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), severe hemoptysis has been reported in several studies. We report here a rare case of hemoptysis after SBRT...

Radiobiology for IMRT
Since the dose delivery pattern is different between intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and conventional radiation, radiobiological assessment of the physical dose delivered by IMRT is considered necessar...

Open AccessStereotactic body radiotherapy for stage I lung cancer and small lung metastasis: evaluation of an immobilization system for suppression of respiratory tumor movement and preliminary results
In stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for lung tumors, reducing tumor movement is necessary. In this study, we evaluated changes in tumor movement and percutaneous oxygen saturation (SpO2) levels, and prelimin...
