Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative StudyA comparison of treatment planning techniques used in two randomised UK external beam radiotherapy trials for localised prostate cancer.
To compare the radiotherapy planning techniques from two multicentre randomised external beam radiotherapy trials in the UK of conformal radiotherapy vs intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). ⋯ The forward planned CHHiP IMRT planning solution gives more favourable rectal sparing than the RT-01 plan. This is important to limit any potential increase in late rectal toxicity for prostate cancer patients treated with high-dose conventional or hypofractionated schedules.
