Image Guided Radiotherapy Workflow for Localized Prostate Cancer : A Hybrid Solution for A Better Therapeutic Outcome
Authors(7) :-G. F. Acquah, P. O. Kyeremeh, C. O. Doudoo, I. Koranteng, A. Amoah, C. Edusa, K. Beecham Image guided radiotherapy (IGRT) workflow was introduced to manage localized prostate cancer treatment by hybridizing treatment planning and dose delivering optimization. Seven main challenges were examined over a four year period with simple hybrid tailor-made solutions and workflow protocols formulated with limited resources. These techniques significantly improved the therapeutic ratio by safely reducing the large target margins and enhanced the possibility for dose escalation. However, clinical implementations were explored cautiously and a comprehensive dosimetric evaluation done to address uncertainties in workflow.
