Purpose The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility of prostate stereotactic body radiation therapy treatment with a newly developed Varian Halcyon 2.0 machine by comparing radiotherapy plans with previously delivered CyberKnife G4 plans created with the previous version of CyberKnife Treatment Planning System Multiplan 4.6.

Purpose: To determine the feasibility, potential advantage, and indications for intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) in the treatment of Hodgkin's lymphoma or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma involving excessively large mediastinal disease volumes or requiring repeat RT.
Methods And Materials: Sixteen patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma (n = 11) or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (n = 5) undergoing primary radiotherapy or repeat RT delivered via an IMRT plan were studied. The indications for using an IMRT plan were previous mediastinal RT (n = 5) or extremely large mediastinal treatment volumes (n = 11).
