ESTRO IMRT Course May 2013
Nutting et al., Lancet Oncol, 2011
„Unexpectedly, acute
fatigue was greater in
patients treated with IMRT,
which could be due to the
greater radiation dose to
non-tumour tissues. In an
unplanned dosimetry
review in a subset of
patients, mean radiation
doses to the posterior
fossa were 20–30 Gy in the
patients treated with IMRT
compared with about 6 Gy
in patients treated with
conventional RT“
