Comparison of 3D conformal radiation therapy and intensity-modulated radiation therapy in patients with endometrial cancer: efficacy, safety and prognostic analysis

“…Integrating advances in engineering (Multi-Leaf Collimators) and informatics (inverse dosimetric planning), this modern technique of external beam radiation therapy allows the delivery of a highly conformal 5 treatment without compromising the target volume coverage. Hence, IMRT has become a common strategy for whole pelvic radiotherapy (WPRT), and has been shown to reduce the dose received by surrounding organs at risk (OARs) [10,11]. Therefore, using IMRT should in theory improve the tolerance of the treatment without compromising its efficacy.…”
