Surgery is considered to be the standard treatment for intrahepatic malignancies, primary <br />cancers and metastatic lesions. However, a great many patients are not eligible for surgical <br />intervention. Modern stereotactic radiotherapy has the potential to be an effective alternative <br />treatment modality with low toxicity for patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma <br />and liver oligometastases. In this paper we intend to review the current status and published <br />experiences in the field of liver irradiation. [less ▲]

Le diagnostic et la prise en charge thérapeutique du cancer deviennent extrêmement complexes. La concertation oncologique multidisciplinaire (COM) permet d’optimiser la prise en charge du patient atteint de cancer. La COM permet de confronter les différents points de vue de chaque intervenant afin que le plan thérapeutique soit réellement l’approche la plus prometteuse et rationnelle pour traiter le cancer et, dans un contexte de maladie incurable, pour favoriser au mieux la qualité de vie. Cependant, le patient a toujours le dernier mot. Il peut évidemment refuser pour des raisons personnelles le traitement optimal. [less ▲]

EVALUATION OF THE AUTOMATIC IMAGE REGISTRATION FEATURES OF A KV CONE-BEAM CT IMAGING SYSTEM

Poster (2010, September)

As a part of the clinical implementation of a kV cone-beam CT (CBCT) volumetric imaging system for new Elekta Synergy linear accelerators, the automatic image registration (IR) system of the XVI Software ... [more ▼]

As a part of the clinical implementation of a kV cone-beam CT (CBCT) volumetric imaging system for new Elekta Synergy linear accelerators, the automatic image registration (IR) system of the XVI Software was studied. We examined the effect of the variability of matching parameters of the software on the results of the patient position errors. [less ▲]
