A computer-controlled radiation therapy machine for pelvic and para-aortic nodal areas

A computer-controlled radiation therapy technique has been developed to treat cancer of the uterine cervix that has extended to the pelvic and pare-aortic lymph nodes. During five longitudinal scans with a 4 cm wide 8 MV X ray beam, conformation of the high dose region to the target volume was achie...
