内容紹介
2014年における放射線治療機器のトレンドとしてはサイバーナイフ、トモセラピー、小型化した陽子線治療装置、加速器によるBNCT療法などの導入が進むことが予想される。臨床での最新動向としては、国内でも様々な疾患に対してIMRTの使用が増える(前立腺癌のPSA再発、子宮頸癌術後、直腸癌術前など)、乳癌温存術後照射の短期照射、緩和照射における単回照射、SBRTの適応拡大などが予想される。
It is expected that the introduction of cyber knife, TomoTherapy, downsized proton beam treatment equipment, or BNCT therapy by accelerator machine on will advance as the trend of radiation therapy machine in 2014. As the clinical latest trend, it is expected that (a) increased use of IMRT for various diseases in Japan, too (PSA failure of prostate cancer, postoperative irradiation for cervical cancer, or preoperative irradiation for rectal cancer), (b) convenient breast accelerated radiation therapy, (c) single fraction in palliative irradiation, and (d) adaptation expansion of SBRT.
