IMRT Causes Fewer Bowel and Bladder Problems in Women

Researchers at Yonsei University, the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, and other institutions conducted a multi-center, international study to assess the impact of IMRT, as compared to standard four-field radiation therapy (RT), in 278 patients with cervical or endometrial cancer who received pelvic RT post-operatively at cancer centers in the United States, Canada, Japan, and Korea. Patients were randomly assigned to receive standard RT or IMRT. More...
