Data of 150 patients were eligible for the study and was segregated into two groups based on the dose fractionation regimen.
Patients treated with other dose fractionation schedules.
Researchers from RaySearch and NIRS will explore areas such as biological modeling of ion-beam irradiation and
dose fractionation, robust beam delivery and plan optimization algorithms.
Administration of high doses of I-131 as opposed to limited
dose fractionation has several purported advantages (1).
Regardless, there is still need for clarity with respect to optimal
dose fractionation schedules to avoid significant late effects.
Although all the 5 models were generated from stage I patients, different T1 and T2 portions might partly influence the modeling because higher dose is needed for T2 stage patients [16, 27], as mentioned before; (2) a wide variety of dose fractionation schemes were implemented for SBRT but the optimal one needed to be further determined.
The contradiction is mainly induced by the employment of the risk-adapted prescribed dose fractionation based on tumor size in Baba and Allibhai's study [33, 34].
In order to apply the linear quadratic model to
dose fractionation in time intervals, three conditions must be satisfied:
Patients of postmastectomy non metastatic breast cancer were randomized in two arms: arm A (45) Arm B (46) according to
dose fractionation schedule of external radiation given to chest wall and draining lymphatics.
[9] Regarding radiation
dose fractionation has evolved from once daily dose to hyperfractionation and altered fractionation.
Dose fractionation and the type of RT must be tailored to each patient individually taking into account the patient's perspective, goals of treatment, and prognosis.
Needs more cases to reach the conclusion about
dose fractionation schedule, response etc.
