Bilateral breast radiation delivered with static angle tomotherapy (TomoDirect): clinical feasibility and dosimetric results of a single patient.

We herein report on a case of synchronous bilateral breast cancer patient undergoing adjuvant intensity-modulated whole breast with static angle tomotherapy (TomoDirect). The patient was treated with a hypofractionated schedule employing a simultaneous integrated boost approach. Radiotherapy schedule was 45 Gy/20 fractions (2.

Palliative radiotherapy for painful bone metastases from solid tumors delivered with static ports of tomotherapy (TomoDirect): feasibility and clinical results.

Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility and response to palliative radiotherapy delivered with static ports of tomotherapy--TomoDirect (TD) in patients affected with painful bone metastases from solid tumors.

Methods: A prospective cohort of 130 patients (185 osseous lesions) was treated between 2010 and 2013 with TD. Three fractionation schedules were employed according to clinical decision-making (3 Gy × 10; 4 Gy × 5; 8 Gy × 1).

Minimizing a tricky situation in breast irradiation with helical tomotherapy.

We report on a patient with breast cancer undergoing adjuvant intensity-modulated whole breast and lymph node irradiation with static angle tomotherapy (TomoDirect), who experienced a traumatic ipsilateral humeral fracture and was able to continue radiotherapy with helical tomotherapy and daily dosimetric monitoring by means of the Planned Adaptive module.

Intensity-modulated and hypofractionated simultaneous integrated boost adjuvant breast radiation employing statics ports of tomotherapy (TomoDirect): a prospective phase II trial.

Purpose: To report the 1-year outcomes of a prospective phase II study on hypofractionated whole-breast intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IM-WBRT) with a simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) to the tumor bed delivered with static ports of tomotherapy (TomoDirect) (TD).

Methods: A prospective cohort of 82 patients was enrolled between 2011 and 2012. Treatment schedule consisted of 45 Gy/20 fractions to the whole breast and 50 Gy/20 fractions to the surgical bed delivered concomitantly with TD over 4 weeks.

Intensity-modulated adjuvant whole breast radiation delivered with static angle tomotherapy (TomoDirect): a prospective case series.

Purpose: To report the 2-year outcomes of whole breast intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) after conserving surgery for early breast cancer (EBC) delivered with static angle tomotherapy (TomoDirect) (TD).

Methods: A prospective cohort of 120 EBC patients underwent whole breast IMRT with TD between 2010 and 2012. Radiation was delivered to a conventionally fractionated whole breast total dose of 50 Gy with TD, followed by a sequential conventionally fractionated tumor bed boost dose of 10-16 Gy with helical tomotherapy (HT).

Adjuvant hypofractionated radiotherapy with weekly concomitant boost for women with early breast cancer: the clinical experience at Genoa university.

Unlabelled: The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the feasibility of a shortened whole-breast irradiation schedule with a concomitant boost delivered to the tumor bed once-a-week in patients with early breast cancer submitted to conservative surgery.

Patients And Methods: Patients with pT1 and pT2 M0 carcinoma of the breast were selected. The basic course consisted of 4600 cGy to the whole breast in 20 fractions, 4 times a week, for 5 weeks.
