Abstract

Many modern radiotherapy centers now have image-guided intensity-modulated radiotherapy (ig-imrt) tools available for clinical use, and the technique offers many options for patients requiring palliative radiotherapy. We describe a single-institution experience with ig-imrt for short-course palliative radiotherapy, highlighting the unique situations in which the technique can be most effectively used.
Keywords: image-guided radiotherapy; intensity-modulated radiotherapy; palliation image-guided radiotherapy; intensity-modulated radiotherapy; palliation
