Radiation methods
Radiotherapy SRS* SABR**/SBRT†
************* Elekta VersaHD *************
Daily dose Standard Highest High
(1.8-2.0Gy) (>14Gy) (8-12 Gy)
significance Can treat regional LNs; Need a small target; “Modified SRS”
preventive treatment cannot treat LNs
Example Almost all cancers: Small brain tumor; Early lung cancer;
Nasopharynx; Lung; Small lung tumor; early liver cancer;
breast; uterus…etc Small spine tumor Relative large brain
tumor

Characteristics of Radiotherapy
• Dose unit of radiotherapy (Gray)
1 Gray (Gy)
= 100 centi-Gray (cGy)
= 100 rad
(1 Gy 1 J/kg) The energy is about 1 sip of hot coffee
14
Tri-Service General Hospital
Fractionation- 4”R”s
• Benefit:
1.Re-oxygenation of cancer cells
2.Re-distribution of cancer cells
3.Repair of normal tissue

Concept of radiotherapy
≠
Commonly used dose:
• Daily dose:1.8-2.0 Gy D1 D2 D3 D4 D5
[biological effect 2Gy x 5 ≠ 5 Gy x 2 ≠ 10 Gy x 1] In 1 Day
• Total dose:
Gross tumor ≈ 60-70 Gy
High risk area ≈ 60-65 Gy
Low risk area ≈ 45-55 cGy
Special consideration:
1. lymphoma: highly sensitive to radiotherapy; can reduce daily dose to 1.5-1.8 Gy
for large field.
2. Melanoma: radio-resistance; can elevated daily dose to 2.5-3 Gy
3. Normal tissue tolerance

Clinical role of radiotherapy
• Definitive RT/CCRT: NPC; glottis; prostate; anal cancer;
cervical cancer; NSCLC; SCLC; early stage HCC…
• Preop (neo-adjuvant) CCRT: rectal cancer; esophagus…
• Postop (adjuvant) RT/CCRT: breast cancer; sarcoma;
head neck cancer; lymphoma (consolidative)…
• Palliative RT: HCC, metastases…
• Other combination therapy:
RT + ADT (prostate);
RT + targeted therapy (Cetuximab…)
RT + IO
