Abstract:This study compares dosimetric outcomes of high-dose-rate (HDR) interventional radiotherapy (IRT) using Iridium-192, Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT), and electron beam therapy for non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). A retrospective analysis of 25 patients showed that IRT provided a significantly higher mean dose to the clinical target volume (CTV) compared to VMAT and electron beam therapy. IRT and VMAT had comparable V95%CTV coverage, whilst electron therapy was less feasible for large CTVs. IRT delivere… Show more
