Sparing of normal tissues with volumetric arc radiation therapy for glioblastoma: single institution clinical experience
Abstract Background Patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) require radiotherapy as part of definitive management. Our institution has adopted the use of volumetric arc therapy (VMAT) due to superior sparing of the adjacent organs at risk (OARs) compared to intensity modulated radiation therapy...
