“…Our findings agree with prior investigations 5 , 16 . In a study with 20 patients undergoing intracavitary treatment, bladder volume was not found to have a notable effect on rectal dose, but the median bladder wall was significantly affected (3) .…”

“…The anatomy and topography of bladder has a substantial influence on bladder dose values in cervical cancer brachytherapy 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 . In order to reduce the dose to small intestine in gynecological (GYN) brachytherapy, treating the patient with a refilled bladder is often practiced (2) .…”

“…Metal implants, such as dental implants, hip prostheses, and spine fixation devices in patients, raise concerns in radiation therapy because they potentially lead to an inaccurate patient dose calculation in three ways: 1) they permit metal‐induced artifacts in the CT images; 2) they interact with the treatment beam and are poorly modeled by some dose prediction algorithms; and 3) they lead to the formation of cold and hot spots, 3 , 4 , 5 which is particularly important in the image‐guided, intensity‐modulation radiation therapy (IG‐IMRT) era which combines inverse optimization with daily alignment.…”

“…Also EBRT alone has failed to control disease progression and yields a median survival of 5.5-7 months (Bodner et al, 2000;Nag et al, 2006). The introduction of intraoperative electron beam radiotherapy, combined with EBRT and chemotherapy, has also failed to significantly improve long-term results, with recent studies reporting median survival rates of 7-16 months (Blasko et al, 2002;Cengiz et al, 2008;Monk et al, 2002). Despite the availability of many treatments, there was currently no consensus regarding the optimal therapeutic modality for unresectable pancreatic carcinomas.…”
