Evaluation of healthy tissue dose at different regions between volumetric-modulated arc therapy and intensity-modulated radiation therapy plans in the treatment of various cancers
Background: Radiotherapy plays an important role in the management of cancer. Although the improved technologies increase therapeutic index, different delivery techniques deliver different dose pattern to the healthy tissue within and outside treatment volume. Objective: The objective of this study...
