Studies in the area of bladder cancer prevention reported from Aarhus University, Department of Medical Physics

Data detailed in 'Image-guided radiotherapy of bladder cancer: bladder volume variation and its relation to margins' have been presented. " To control and account for bladder motion is a major challenge in radiotherapy (RT) of bladder cancer. This study investigates the relation between bladder volume variation and margins in conformal and image-guided RT (IGRT) for this disease. The correlation between the relative bladder volume (RBV, defined as repeat scan volume/planning scan volume) and the margins required to account for internal motion was first studied using a series of 20 bladder cancer patients with weekly repeat CT scanning during treatment," scientists in Aarhus, Denmark...
