Positional Reproducibility and Effects of a Rectal Balloon in Prostate Cancer Radiotherapy
Journal of Korean Medical Science, 10/05/09

Cho JH et al. – Despite the increasing use of the rectal balloon in prostate cancer radiotherapy, many issues still remain to be verified objectively including its positional reproducibility and relevance to treatment morbidity. Clinically, the balloon lowered acute toxicity, which was lowest when both the balloon and IMRT were applied simultaneously. The rectal balloon carries excellent reproducibility and reduces acute toxicity in 3D–CRT and IMRT for prostate cancer.
