Estimation of the risk of secondary cancer in rectum and bladder after radiation therapy for prostate cancer using a feasibility dose–volume histogram

Estimation of the risk of secondary cancer in rectum and bladder after radiation therapy for prostate cancer using a feasibility dose–volume histogram

We investigated the risk of secondary cancers in rectum and bladder for prostate cancer radiotherapy using a feasibility assessment tool. We calculated the risk of secondary cancer by generating a dose-volume histogram based on an ideal dose falloff function (f-value). This study found a smaller f-v...
