The choice of optimal radiotherapy technique for locally advanced maxillary carcinoma using 3d treatment planning system by Mileusnić Dušan

“…The most enhanced conformity of the dose delivered to the target volume was achieved with 3D-NS technique, and significant differences were found comparing 3D-NS vs. 2D (Dmax: p&lt;0,05 Daver: p&lt;0,01; Dmin: p&lt;0,05; V90: p&lt;0,05, and V95: p&lt;0,01), as well as 3D-NS vs. 3D-S technique (Dmin: p&lt;0,05; V90: p&lt;0,05, and V95: p&lt;0,01), while there were no differences between 2D vs. 3D-S technique. 3D-S conformal plans were significantly superior to 2D plans regarding the protection of parotid glands, and the additional improvement of dose conformity was achieved with 3D-NS technique. 3D-NS technique resulted in the decrease of Dmax for ipsilateral retina compared with 3D-S technique, while the level of Dmax for optic nerve was increased (within an acceptable range) with 3D-NS technique. …”
