IMRT Lower Limb Soft Tissue Sarcoma
June 2, 2014 updated by: University Health Network, Toronto
A Phase II Study of Preoperative Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy For Lower Limb Soft Tissue Sarcoma
Intensity-modulated radiation therapy may make wound healing problems less likely by 1)precisely shaping the region of high radiation dose to the shape of the tissue which harbours tumour cells, and 2) precisely shaping the regions of low radiation dose to the shapes of the normal tissues which are more sensitive to radiation effects.
