Image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) accounts for anatomical changes during treatment. Adaptive radiotherapy, including dose-guided approaches, improves precision but requires validation due to complexity and cost.

Area of Science:

  • Radiation oncology
  • Medical imaging
  • Radiotherapy techniques

Context:

  • Anatomical variations during radiotherapy necessitate adjustments for accurate tumor targeting.
  • Image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) uses visualization to adapt treatment to patient anatomy.
  • Prostate and head/neck cancers are examples where IGRT and adaptive strategies are crucial.

Purpose:

  • To explore the role of IGRT and adaptive radiotherapy in managing anatomical variations during cancer treatment.
  • To discuss strategies like rigid registration, replanning, dose-guided adaptive radiotherapy, and planning libraries.
  • To highlight the challenges and need for validation of advanced IGRT techniques.

Summary:

  • IGRT visualizes anatomy to address variations, potentially by rigid registration for prostate cancer.

  • Adaptive radiotherapy, involving replanning for head/neck tumors or dose-guided adjustments, enhances precision.
  • Planning libraries offer another adaptive approach, but complexity and cost necessitate validation.

    • Impact:

    • IGRT combined with intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) may reduce toxicity in prostate treatments.
    • Adaptive strategies aim to improve treatment accuracy and outcomes for various cancers.
    • Further research and validation are needed for routine clinical adoption of complex IGRT and adaptive techniques.
