Analysis of variations in the dose delivered in radiation therapy

Abstract

The outcome of radiotherapy in cancer care is heavily dependent on the quality of the treatment. This work presents a review of how daily practice and the current availability of equipment for treatment planning and simulating as well as a number of other factors affect the radiation therapy quality in Argentina. The establishment of refreshing courses for all types of staffs involved in the treatments, modernization of equipment and strict routines in patient set up and quality control would give a significant contribution to a higher quality in radiation therapy. (author). 3 refs.
