Radiotherapy intensity modulated

External beam radiotherapy (including three-dimensional radiotherapy, intensity modulated radiotherapy, and extracranial stereotactic radiotherapy) is the most common way radiation is used to eradicate solid tumors, often with combined chemotherapy. The key limitation of external beam radiotherapy is the tolerance of normal liver parenchyma to radiation, which is much less than the dose required to control the liver tumors. Direct implantation of radionuclides into the tumor (brachytherapy) using interstitial seeds... [Pg.172]
