Three-Dimensional Conformal or Stereotactic Reirradiation of Recurrent, Metastatic or New Primary Tumors

Abstract: A small portion of patients can be cured with a second course of radiotherapy, and in many cases, palliation can be obtained. Low toxicity of reirradiation with use of modern techniques should allow for the delivery of higher doses and, in consequence, lead to an improvement in reirradiation outcome.

“…To achieve this, however, the patient must be held very exactly in place during radiotherapy. In the case of radiotherapy in the head area, for example, this is done using a rigid face mask fixed to the radiotherapy table [17]. These new forms of treatment may involve greater psychosocial stress for the patients.…”

“…Highly conformal radiation techniques with photons, such as intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) [2], brachytherapy [3], intraoperative radiation therapy [4], and stereotactic body radiosurgery [5,6] have been employed for retreatment in order to treat a limited tumor volume while sparing normal tissues.…”
